This is the 6TH of the WIPs Challenge List!
W00t!!!
It’s quite satisfying to work on all these old WIPs and finishing them.
Pattern: The Orchid Thief Shawl by Ysolda Teague.
Yarn: a random yarn on the cone from Newton’s Yarn Country.
Needles: US 3
Things were all good until Chart 3. There is errata available on Ysolda Teague’s website: Errata
And also the first row of Chart 4 is a little off. See here: Chart 4 Help
Other than that, I am completely happy with the finished product. I love the way the leaves open up.
I love the drape of the fabric, and the warmth. I think I’m going to keep this one, but make many more for gifts.


you are seriously wickedly amazing w/ knitting..it’s insane!!!!!!! that looks so intricate and gorgeous!!!!!
Thank you endlessly for the link on help with row 1 on chart 4. I was about to stab myself in the eye with my needle;) I can only knit and unknit so many times. Yours is gorgeous!!!
