Ruana
Stacy finished her fabulous ruana.
This pattern is pretty straight-forward, although Stacy noticed that if you follow it, as the pattern is written, then the fringe is on the back of the ruana, as opposed to on the front tails as in the picture.
If you wanted the fringe to be in the front, you would skip the "1 row F" row. And when you're casting on new sts, before
"Next Row With A, knit all stitches, then cast on 75 stitches (135 stitches)", you'd need to work 1 row A first.
Stacy is happy with the fringe in the back, and I think it looks quite nice too. Next she is tackling a long sweater coat. At our knit-out, we also had people working on a yoga mat bag, some fabulous Fair Isle, a cardigan, a short-sleeve tee, and socks.

Stacy- please send me a copy of this beatiful shawl. I am a self taught knitter with a few classes under my belt. I am working on a microspun riplle shawl now for a friend. It is taking forever! Please let me know what kind of yarn you used also
