I’ve finally got a new camera and am able to show you my progress on the Aeolian Shawl by Elizabeth Freeman from Knitty. This is the yarn after I wound it into a ball from the skein. And it pretty much still looks the same size even though I’ve done 12 repeats of the yucca chart. And this is a close up of the lace so far….
I’ve just started the transition chart which changes the pattern from the yucca chart above to the Agave chart. It was a bit difficult at first knitting with such thin yarn but I’ve got the hang of it now. The only niggle is that the addi lace circular that I’m using is so shiny and smooth it means the yarn easily slides off if I’m not careful.

Hi Kirsten,
I would suggest that you join Ravelry a website for knitting and crochet as if you find the Aeolian pattern on there you will find many helpful hints and tips for knitting it. It would be difficult to say what you’ve done wrong without seeing your knitting. I did sometime miss out yarn overs so maybe you have done that?
Good Luck with it!!
