Thank you so much for posting this – I know it was two years ago but that doesn’t make it any less helpful. I particularly appreciate the guidance on getting the budding lace and the lily of the valley border to match up – fantastic. I think I might even go up to 24 repeats – really enjoying chugging along with such an easy repeat and I want to use up as much of my beautiful laceweight as possible…

Thank you again.

This was *so* much help. I somehow managed to get completely lost in the last chart anyway, but the yarn and I muddled through. Thank you for doing the heavy lifting!

Hi,
Many thanks for the modifications!!! I used a cobweb merino lace & knew that it would be too tiny. I emailed the designer Evelyn Clark and she replied “the shawl was designed with one pattern and if you want it larger, use heavier yarn and larger needles!!”

Without your excellent instructions I never would have been able to finish my shawl.

Your’s is beautiful!! Thanks again!!!!

Beautiful shawl and excellent tutorial — thanks for sharing!~

Keep in mind that depending on how many extra rows you do, you may have to decrease instead of increasing extra stitches to make the Peaked Edging fit. I chose to do the prescribed 14 repeats Budding Lace, and add an extra repeat (12 rows) of the Lily of the Valley Chart 3A and 3B instead. I had to decrease 4 total stitches for it to work.

I was so happy that a friend of mine showed me this website–I am making this shawl and I was trying to figure out how to enlarge it. Thank you so much for all your hard work–I really appreciate it. I’m anxious to see how my finished shawl will look with all your improvements!

Hi – I saw your shawl on Rav and had to come over to see what modifications you made. Thanks so much for doing the math for me! and I agree about doing a 3rd lily of the valley repeat, I think that’s what I’ll do. I’m 5’9″ tall, and I like to have a substantial shawl. :o) Beautiful work.
