This is my 6th try at getting the Frost Flowers and Leaves going. I’m learning a lot with this shawl.
I used the Bellybutton start and Birch needles. Both of which really helped me hold on to the knitting at the beginning. I also used a lot of stitch markers and I staggered the begining of each round so that the yarn over’s weren’t at the ends of the needles.
To make things even easier this time around I’m highlighting my copy of the pattern the areas where I really need to pay attention. Like when the beginning of the round moves one stitch over and when the plain rows stop.
So far it’s going very smoothly. I just hope I can keep it up.
