I started the shawl mentioned above and almost have finished the square Center Section. But it doesn't say if I should bind off before starting the next section called the Border Insertion. Also, it says to "pick up stitches on two sides of the shawl", knit the provided instructions and then pick up stiches on the other half. Since it's a square, then do you pick up on two sides which seems like it would distort the corners. The part that I have knitted looks like the part on the picture that is at the shoulder level. Has anyone knitted this Munich Shawl? I'm so confused, and any help would be appreciated. TIA, Marlene
