5.27 Dayflower Daydream

Thanks everybody for the nice compliments on Blue Cocoon. It was a good knit - written instructions only, which made a change from the past few projects before it, and a good prep for the current project, Dayflower Daydream, which is both written and charted, but for which I'm finding the written instructions easier to follow.

It's a circular shawl, in eight panels. It starts with Pattern A, which makes a wedge. Once you get to row 40, you continue in Pattern B on the established wedge (which makes a column) and start a new Pattern A in each panel. Once you reach row 80, you start a new Pattern A and continue with two columns of pattern B...

I have this feeling that by the time I get to the point where I have 3 or 4 (?) columns of pattern B I'm going to have a bazillion stitch markers color and size coded for each repeat.

Can't wait to see how this one develops!
Let us know if you need a pep talk or a hand-patting.

IIRC, my friend Laurie knit this -- Issues with Knitting. She said it took a few repeats to get the pattern into her head. I love Dayflower, especially because if you forget to do the triple ssk's it's easy to fudge on the next knit round...!
