Louise’s notes:

  • The applied border is knitted with a second set of circular needles, which is a bit fiddly at the start.
  • I put an end cap on the non-working end of the main body needle and used a spare 4mm tip to be able to work the stitches for the applied border.
  • I occasionally knitted the border onto the needle holding the body of the shawl (I blame the wine), but easily transferred to the shorter needle to continue.
