There's an easier way to do that P5tog.

Slip 2 or 3 st to right needle purlwise.
Then P3tog or P2tog depending on if you slipped 2 or 3.
Then pass slipped stitches over 1 at a time. It's the same net effect.

BTW I love your Henley Perfected. I'm swatching right now so that I can make it.

I love the Lily of the Valley shawl, I kind of avoided it because of all the nupps, but yours looks SO beautiful!

I just finished the swallowtail shawl… it has the lily of the valley pattern. The only way i got through the nupps (nubbs) was to use the addi lace needles… it worked, but i think next time i’ll add a bead instead of a nubb…

beautiful though!

You cast that on last week?! I haven’t accomplished as much on my lace stole since SEPTEMBER! I’m going to go weep into my tea now.

it’s hard not to have lace on the needles at all times this one is a keeper i think!
