This pattern is fairly straight forward and very easy to memorize. The only issue I had was when I changed from the main pattern to the edging. I frogged the edging 4 times before getting it right. I think that was due to the fact that I didn't need to think about the first section very much; the edging requires some thought for sure.
Overall, I am just delighted with this shawl - Thanks to TYL for suggesting this wonderful, yummy Blue Sky Alpaca silk yarn. It was a dream!

Gorgeous! And such beautiful shots of it, too!
Nicely done. As of yet I'm not a shawl chic. I'd love to be, but I have only found one shawl pattern that literally took my breath away. And once I finish one more big project it might just end up next on the needles.
Oh my gosh, that is GORGEOUS! I love it :)
