The Shawl is officially started!



Doesn't look like much yet, does it? It's just the cast on plus the first six rows. The cast on was trickier than I expected. The book says to use a double-strand of yarn, and to push the stitch back 1" from the tip of the needle before making the next one. After a few experiments I went online & tried to find pictures or a better explanation. I came across the author/designer's website & the only helpful suggestion was to continue with the double strand for the first row. Anyway I think I did OK with it.
