Large Shawl 2024 part 4 U shape pt 1

This is where I start day 2. We are doing the u shape knitting slowly, and carefully. I do not want to make any silly mistakes by going quickly.
You are literally knitting this with me with out any speeding up. Row by row. I created my checklist and I am checking off the rows as I knit them.
We have 504 rows in the pattern, however the row counter clicks twice for the u shape knitting. It is important to use a guide so that you do not lose track. The original pattern was decreasing every 2 rows, however we made a tension swatch of the yarn we were using, and then tension I chose, so that changed the width, and the length from the demo videos.
So... We knit this together.
