Revised Leaf Pattern Shawl

Here is the revised Leaf Pattern for Half-Square Shawl. I have changed the M1's to YO's. If you knit up the pattern I'd love to know.

Hi, fun to see someone else interested in this pattern! I charted the design months ago, and finally started knitting it yesterday; today I searched Google to see if I could find a photo of someone else's finished shawl using Cornelia's pattern...haven't found one so far. Will send you a photo when it's done. I'm using 5mm needles with some handpainted merino/nylon sock yarn...Cheers, Wendy
