I knit this with KnitPicks Alpaca Cloud on size 6 needles. I added one extra repeat of the lower basket pattern, but it was still a little bit smaller than the shawl in the magazine. My blocked shawl was 52 X 24 inches.
Like usual, I'm late to the party. Here's my Flower Basket Shawl from IK Fall 2004.

If I want to make that bolero, then I'm going to have to buy more yarn because I can't get gauge with the yarn that I purchased a couple of weeks ago. So I started knitting a vest with that yarn, but it was so ugly I had to rip it out. I don't like the look of garter stitch as the main stitch in a garment and this pattern was almost all garter stitch. I had the back completed and the left front was almost done.
I think I should do some knitting for the Dulaan Project. Mossy Cottage has organized some knitters to contribute hats, mittens, scarves and sweaters to the project.

Ballet Neck Cardigan by Annie Modesitt
This was knit using Schachenmayr Micro, a soft, slippery acrylic mircofibre. I made only two modifications, smaller bobbles and I-cord instead of the twisted cord. I haven't blocked it yet, so hopefully the edging will stop curling after that is done. My next project was going to be a bolero, but since this is much like a bolero--size-wize, I might knit something else.

I'm still working on my cardigan, in spite of all the little mistakes I'm making, I think it will be done this week. I bought some yarn yesterday to start making a bolero from Vogue Knitting. While perusing Cast-On at the bookstore,I saw a cardigan that I really liked, but refrained from buying the magazine. I have way too many knitting magazines as it is.
