I am getting close to the end of my Orbit pattern using Araucania Prisma yarn. And I think that I want to just keep knitting until I run out of yarn. But will it be too big? So I measured this morning and the long side is about 36 inches....hard to tell for sure until it is blocked but that is my best guess. So I googled what is the best size for an asymetrical shawl. And while I haven't found the answer to that question yet, I have found a few things that I want to remember.
First is a great article from Interweave knits explaining different ways to start and proceed when making an asymmetrical shawl as well as several photos of finished projects.

Next I looked on Ravelry at shawl projects and realized that I had made a pattern in the past called Wendy's Fern that is similar in shape to the one that I am working on. I tried it on and am reassured that I can keep knitting until I am out of yarn. I believe that this shawl is going to be great with jeans this fall.
