Confcall Safe Lace Shawl
========================
+This bottom-up knitted triangular shawl uses one of the easiest repeats
+(:term:`k2t` :term:`yo`) and just one marker to form a lace pattern
+which can be worked in those situations where one can't give full
+attention to the work.
+
+As a simple triangle, it can be as small or as big as desired, and it
+can be declared complete at almost any time, whether your're low on yarn
+or just getting bored with it.
+
+It's probably also a good first lace project for relative knitting
+beginners, especially with yarn that is sock-weight or bulkier, or as
+the first lace project with very thin or otherwise demanding yarn.
+
+This is a work in progress, and more pictures (including one of a
+finished shawl) will be added later on.
