We asked test knitters what they would like to tell about the pattern and the finished shawl to other knitters and here are some of their answers:
[echeverialaui][5]: If you like surprises and want to learn a few new things about knitting: go for it!
[Vaida][6]: It's a lovely shawl, with a bit of challenge to keep one entertained - and with soothing garter to relax.
[Rutast][7]: It's a big project from different designers and was very interesting what would be the next Clue.
[craftzone][8]: Rather quick and very interesting knitting combining so different styles and personalities.
[traceyrr][9]: It's predictably unpredictable and a labour of love by all of the designers.
