I'm glad you're knitting it and not me. If I was me, it wouldn't be a shawl - it would be something large like an afghan. :) You have a lot done and it looks great!

See how I took that from dirty to cutesy? I'm not saying it's *better*... In their "gathering of lace" book, there are a few funky symbols like that. IF it's an SSK, lean the GD slash the other way for a *left* increase, that's all I ask. (I usually substitute my own left leaning decreases anyway) The one I'm doing from AGOL has the / in the last repeat with a note in the legend saying on the last repeat do a left leaning decrease. OK........ in the last repeat portion of the friggin chart how about change the EFFIN symbol to a \ ???? Say what you mean. If there's something weird, give it some brand new weird symbol so we all go ALERT ALERT!!! and we look to see what you mean, stupid publishers. Oooo I got myself all worked up there. I almost went upstairs to get the book and look it up so I could write an indignant letter. Thank dog I used your comment section to work out my psychological issues!

I glanced at it before I read the text and thought "WTF??" :) Some of Sharon Miller's patterns will tell you to use k2tog for all decreases, because at fine gauges, it's kinda hard to tell a k2tog from an ssk. But if you're really concerned about having your decreases lean the "correct" way, you could use ssk (or I think Sharon uses k2tog through back loops.) All this is purely theoretical for me right now, since I've only read about these issues, and haven't actually DONE them. Jane has you start the edgings at slightly odd places, doesn't she? I'm working on the Circular Cape (booooorrrrringgg right now), and you start the edging in the middle of the back of the neck. I guess that kinda makes sense, but in other shawls I've done the edging usually starts at a corner or something. I just find it kinda funky. You’re right, the picture looks a little… funny.
