+Confcall Safe Lace Shawl
+========================
+
+Materials
+---------
+
+Yarn
+^^^^
+
+The classic choice for this would of course be lace-weight or fingering
+yarn, but sport or DK weight worked with bulky needles may also be fun.
+
+Needles
+^^^^^^^
+
+A pair of long straight needles or a circular, in a size significantly
+bigger than the yarn.
+
+Directions
+----------
+
+The shawl is worked from the bottom up, with a garter stitch border 3
+:term:`sts` wide and rows of :term:`yo`/:term:`k2t` lace in between.
+
+Long tail cast on 3 :term:`sts` and start working the point of the
+border:
+
+row 1 (:term:`ws`):
+    :term:`k` 3;
+row 2 (:term:`rs`):
+    :term:`k` 1, :term:`m1r`, :term:`k` 1, :term:`m1l`, :term:`k` 1;
+row 3:
+    :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;
+row 4:
+    :term:`k` 1, :term:`m1r`, :term:`k` 3, :term:`m1l`, :term:`k` 1;
+row 5:
+    :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;
+
+You now have 7 :term:`sts`: place a marker before the center stitch and
+start working the lace part:
+
+row 6:
+    :term:`k` 3, :term:`yo`, (marker), :term:`k` 1, :term:`yo`,
+    :term:`k` 3;
+row 7:
+    :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;
+row 8:
+    :term:`k` 3, :term:`yo`, :term:`k` 1 (marker), :term:`k` 2,
+    :term:`yo`, :term:`k` 3;
+row 9:
+    :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;
+row 10:
+    :term:`k` 3, :term:`yo`, :term:`k2t`, :term:`yo`, :term:`k` 1,
+    :term:`yo`, :term:`k2t`, :term:`yo`, :term:`k` 3;
+row 11:
+    :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;
+row 12:
+    :term:`k` 3, :term:`yo`, :term:`k2t`, :term:`yo`, :term:`k` 1
+    :term:`k` 2, :term:`yo`, :term:`k2t`, :term:`yo`, :term:`k` 3;
+row 13:
+    :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;
+    
+and then repeat the following lines until the shawl is as long as
+you'd like, or until you're low on yarn:
+
+row 4n - 2:
+    :term:`k` 3, :term:`yo`, [:term:`k2t`, :term:`yo`] until the marker,
+    :term:`k` 1, [:term:`yo`, :term:`k2t`] until 3 :term:`sts` remain on
+    the needle, :term:`yo`, :term:`k` 3;
+row 4n - 1:
+    :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;
+row 4n:
+    :term:`k` 3, :term:`yo`, [:term:`k2t`, :term:`yo`] until one
+    :term:`st` before the marker, :term:`k` 3, [:term:`yo`, :term:`k2t`]
+    until 3 :term:`sts` remain on the needle, :term:`yo`, :term:`k` 3;
+row 4n + 1:
+    :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;
+
+finally, add 5 lines of  garter stitch border to the top of the shawl:
