It literally isn't there on your knitting at that row. If you look up the chart along the same column, though, you'll see that where there was a grey box before, there's now a stitch to work since your shawl is growing wider by 2 stitches every other row because of those yarnovers. Anne also uses grey boxes to show where you should place a marker in your row, but she labels these as such. :)annmariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01322340509703991291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414577785865899311.post-65966339653427457942007-10-12T15:54:00.000-04:002007-10-12T15:54:00.000-04:00No stitch are simply place holders. They are used to make other stitches in the chart line up.
