Shawl Progress

I'm making progress on the sunshine shawl! After putting my thinking hat on and counting, I figured out what row I was on and got to work knitting. I'm still not sure what some of my notes mean (why did I circle specific stitches every six rows?) and there are a few mistakes I've noticed, but I'm adjusting as I go because they will not be very noticeable. Also, I don't have to worry about increasing unless I knit more than I had planned on my little pattern because stitches double between sections and each section is twice as many rows as the section before.
