Thanks everyone. I was a little disappointed with the result as I bought the yarn in summer and had difficulty getting anything suitable, and add to that they do not mark them in ply's here, just what size needles they think would be suitable. Instead of wool, all I could get was a baby yarn which was acrylic (and which I developed an allergy to so my fingers began to swell so much the wedding ring had to be removed each time so I didn't have to have it cut off before it cut my finger off!!). The result was it didn't come out the exact size it should have (did the test square but it ended up about 6 cm smaller), was not as soft as I wanted though I fixed that in some part with lots of fabric softener, and was not able to be pressed to help it stretch out to size. All in all though, it turned out well and the mother I made it for was stunned...seems they didn't know what a baby shawl was as they just use blankets here but she says this one will get lots of use.
