I've noticed that some lines of the shield maiden pattern are missing like line 62 and 64 ,66,68. It's the even numbers these lines have 114 stitches. What should we do in this and the next section for the even numbers. Thanks Susan

Hi The Shield Maiden shawl pattern link doesn't work even if I'm logged in with one of my social accounts I get a 504 error or "this page can't be displayed." It's a gorgeous piece, so sad I can't get to it. Will work with my other designs and check back from time to time. Thanks
