I was very flattered to be asked to model such a beautiful shawl. And it is a compliment indeed to say that I look like Lu as she is quite beautiful herself :-) /knittykat/kitkat Awww, thank you Natalie, for the nice compliment.

I love your calculators, I am intrigued by the Jenny & the Maggie. Question: I may be missing something but when I read the description, it says "After knitting “a while”, the knitter begins to increase 2 stitches at the beginning; this causes the shawl to have long “tails” which curl and appear to require sophisticated shaping." I'm not seeing in the pattern where this increasing 2 stitches at the beginning to create the long tails occurs (and how to do). Is it after the part where you take the first measurement? Thank you and great calculators/patterns. This lookes like a terrific pattern to use a big skein of sock yarn I have. I love your calculators, I am intrigued by the Jenny & the Maggie.

I somehow edited out a line between the two "Work in pattern established between..." bits! It's fixed in both calculators. Thanks! No. I was missing something.

I have a question for you, and apologize for using this forum to ask it. I have a picture of a shawl, not the one above, that I want to make. How do I make a pattern? I would appreciate some advice, although I do recognize this may be totally off the subject. Thank you in advance. Joy I like the shawl. It is cute.

But, uh, why do you need to increase in the middle? Won't increasing just at the ends give you a triangle?? I love the pattern and a calculator is a great idea.
