This is clue 4

More beaded lace trees.  This pattern is all about the beaded lace trees.  The shawl is constructed by started on the outside of the V and working inward, so the rows are getting really short now.  Clue 5, the last clue, is due out on the start date for Ravelympics, and I think I’ll finish up this shawl before casting on for Ravelympics.

I started a scarf with

Cascade Magnum, works up at 2 stitches to the inch. Sharron says it’s not yarn, it’s roving.

24 stitches worked for 26 rows yeilds

Seven repeats of this pattern makes a huge scarf.  The strange thing is, even though this works up a lot faster than the shawl, it feels slower.  I don’t know if it’s that there are no plain rows, or that the yarn is so thick it’s a bit harder to work with, or that the color changes in the shawl lead me along to see how it’ll form next, or if the shawl is just a more interesting pattern, but a row on the shawl, over 100 stitches even in clue 4, seems so much faster than a row here.
