I am VERY frustrated!!!  More than half of the Interweave patterns I've tried to use have had mistakes.  Some of had corrections posted on the web, but sometimes even those corrections have had mistakes.  Here's my latest problem:  The Icarus Shawl pattern states up front that you need two sizes of hooks - E and G.  The pattern begins "Ch 9."  Ummmmm .... okay .... with WHICH SIZE HOOK???  2nd problem, I'm reading on Ravelry that there's a mistake in the chart.  I can't find a corrected chart, or an errata page, or even any way to contact CrochetMe about this problem.

why is this shawl catagorized under Knitting?  If you look at the contents line up for this special issue it says Knitting. WHY?

I hope you will offer this as a single pattern.  I pick up Inerweave books at the supermarket in my area and they don't usually have the special issues. You no longer have any hard copy issues left and I really have no interest in dvd issues. Please offer this as a download. I would love to make it. :)

Really pretty shaw, but as I work on the left side of the shaw, I notice that the DC on the right side is the back of the DC. On the left side the DC is the right side of the DC. I may be doing this wrong, there is no diagram for the left side and don't like the difference in the look form both sides. Anyone have a suggestion,

Oh, by the way I paid $5.50 for this pattern, and I'm not happy with the results

This shawl pattern is lovely.  BUT I am stumped as well as some other crocheters.  Pattern calls for "E" and "G" hook, but it also says that gauge is not  critical for this pattern.  Well something is wrong there.  I used only 'e'; the 'gauge' is nearly right: 3 crocs=4". 

Eypowell mentions the DC on the right and left side of the work.  I agree, and it does not look correct.  I finished this shawl yesterday, and I am not happy with the look.

I emailed Tracey and have not gotten an answer regarding the DC being reversed. I am now finishing the shawl reversing the pattern of wing 1. I have a few extra strands to sew in but it looks much better.

I do not appreciate purchasing a pattern with so many issues, Interweave should be ashamed to sell this pattern, does anyone check them out.

I love this pattern BUT I have  some problems with it. # 1 there is no chart for the 2nd wing. If I do it the way they have it you can tell that it is the wrong side. #2 they call for lace weight and a G hook but when I made this it came out kid size! It fits me like a capelet then the beautiful shawl thats pictured. I am so frustrated with this!

I finished this shawl and it came out beautiful, BUT! I had to work the second wing in reverse.  For the yard, I purchased the yard that this shawl was originally worked in, and worked it loosely. I do not have pictures because I gave it to my daughter-in-law for Xmas. But she was thrilled with the shawl and it was beautiful.
