Wing-of-the-Moth Shawl
finished size: approx 86″W(top edge) X 36″L(center back) shawl size may be adjusted by using smaller needles and/or finer yarn.
yarn requirements: 900-1,000 yds light fingering weight wool or laceweight mohair
circular needles: size 6, or size to obtain gauge (use a smaller needle if a smaller shawl is desired)
gauge: 22 sts and 30 rows = 4 inches in stockinette (a tighter gauge will yield a smaller shawl)
pattern price: $7.00US (ohio residents, please add $.42 sales tax)
payment method: please visit our pattern shop!

for those who are interested, elizabeth let me know that there is a thread for the moth shawl going on the knitter’s review forum.
and there is a yahoo group of shawl knitters, where the pattern was also mentioned and is being worked by several members.
there is another group called Fibertraditions at yahoo with members talking about moth shawls.
i’m sure these will be great resources for anyone who has questions or thoughts to share as they work through the pattern.
