Argus KAL

Has anyone else started the Argus Shawlette yet? I just finished the "set-up" chart. I think I may have to go buy more stitch markers before I start the charts with pattern repeats.

I've made one tiny screwup so far - I did all my single decreases as K2togs before noticing that the left-slanting ones were supposed to be SSKs. But that's only three stitches, so I doubt anyone will ever notice. I'm planning to use a highlighter to mark all the SSKs before I continue.

I started yesterday morning on the bus to work, and I'm most of the way through the setup chart now. It's the first time I've done anything with a chart, and it's a lot less scary than I expected it to be! I think it's going to take forever to finish the shawl, though--I'm used to knitting smaller projects with thicker yarn.

The timing was perfect--I finished my previous project Sunday night, end of February, so I was ready to start this first thing in March. :-)
