In celebration for Mother's Day 2017, I collaborated with Jimmy Beans Wool to design a shawl using two of their Lorna's Laces Limited Edition colors for the months of April and May, with the theme being "April Showers bring May Flowers". GARDEN BED uses two skeins of sock yarn in an uncommon construction. One color is knit in a repeating lace motif with picots, and the second color is picked up along the edge of the panel, decreasing in easy garter stitch to create a triangle shape, more than suitable for the wonderful mother figure in your life.
Lovely pattern but disappointed because there are several errors in the pattern. I'm sorry to say it could have been written with more clarity as it regards # of repeats within the sections. There is a miscount of stitches in a number of places. A typographical error as well.
I even joined his group in Ravelry, the only entry as of this date is the entry I made and at that it took awhile for him to get back to me. He did confirm the errors I found but made no mention of if or how the corrections will be made so I hope this is done for those considering purchasing the pattern.
And I asked if the pattern had been 'test knitted' since these errors would have been discovered then.
