    I purchased the pattern last year, and have been hoping there will be a KAL. I know this will be a challenging project. Thanks for the tips ❤

    Thank you so much!!! This has been extremely helpful. I am so looking forward to get knitting. My swatch turned out great with my hand spun, so that is what I will be using. I really like that you did a small square option too. Thank you Monique!!!

    I detest switching 😊 for reasons I don't fully understand.
    I'm going to force myself because I'm trying to work on the Equilibrium, and I realize I am a very loose knitter. This has not been a problem with lace weight yarn as gauge is not important to the pattern. I have always been happy with the outcome. I am an experienced lace knitter. But it's different knitting Shetland lace.
    I have knit a square Shetland Shawl the lace was to loose, I snagged it right away.
    Luckily, it's forgiving, and I was able to make it look acceptable after minor manipulation.
    I knit it with Happsula yarn. I love this yarn.
    I am switching for this pattern. I recognize it is complicated for myself who is used to purling every other row for "regular lace" I'm going to use Jamison Cobweb for this beautiful square shawl.
    I so appreciate this video.
    I'm off to Ravelry to purchase the pattern and join the discussion group.
    I guess I needed to talk about this😊
    Thanks, Robin

      You have good insight into your skills and troubles. That will help you. A swatch can be time-consuming. I've had many that were thought of to be worthless. Yet, 10years later, they ring a bell, and a bauble design was born. It's all little steps to help you get in the flow.
      Keep me posted how it's going.

    When I bought the pattern last year, I didn’t realize there were two versions. Apparently, I have the rectangle version.
