But fret not! I have not stopped knitting! Still commuting a good 3 hours a day so I still have plenty of time to make beautiful things.<\/p>\n<p>I started this shawl one day during lunch break and went to a patch of grass on campus and sat eating and knitting. It is a simple repeat of 9 idential sections as you can see below separated by the stitch markers. It is knitted top down so the number of stitches increases with every row.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-3604\" src=\"http:\/\/www.immakulate.com\/meowandribbit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015-05-29-12.56.11-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"2015-05-29 12.56.11\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.immakulate.com\/meowandribbit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015-05-29-12.56.11-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/www.immakulate.com\/meowandribbit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015-05-29-12.56.11-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.immakulate.com\/meowandribbit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015-05-29-12.56.11-280x497.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.immakulate.com\/meowandribbit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015-05-29-12.56.11.jpg 581w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For this pattern, there are options for easy and intermediate stitches, and I opted for the intermediate one to make it more intricate and also because it is more fun and challenging.
