Carefree KAL - The Beginning

Hooray! The Carefree KAL is underway! How is everyone doing with their shawls so far?

I took some pics of me starting my shawl, I thought I would share them with you. I tried to do them step by step for anyone who hasn't cast on a shawl like this before.

I cast on my three stitches and knit six rows. . . .

Then I turned and started picking up along the edge of my knitting. . . .

And came out the other side with 6 stitches on my needle. . . . Then I turned again and started picking up stitches in my cast on edge (this is always the trickiest part from me, which can sometimes result in swearing). . . .
And I ended up with nine stitches (and what looks like what I describe as a blob o' knitting). . . .
So I knit the first few rows of the pattern, and now it's starting to look like a shawl!Have you blogged about your shawl? If you do, shoot me a message and let me know. I will be happy to share the link here! I caught a glimpse of Crooked Knitter's shawl in her post about Vogue Knitting Live (so jealous that you were there, btw).

Happy knitting!
