gauge:
I did not measure my gauge, as I feel this unnecessary. After all, a shawl is not meant to be well fitted to the figure. However, out of curiosity, I did measure the shawl after blocking and the size was: width 196 cm, height 81cm. This is a little less than the pattern, although I did one extra stripe. So my gauge is quite tight.
knittability:
It was a nice and easy knit. Lace pattern is simple and quickly learned and can be knitted while watching TV or podcasts. I did 36 stripes altogether - which was 1 stripe more than in the pattern description.
wearability:
It fits well around the neck - the shape is classic triangular. However, this shawl is going as a present for my aunt - so I will not be able to actually wear it in everyday life. I hope my aunt will like it!
