As I have no coins shortage, I used the WW to chop >100 Desert Rose or Desert Hyacinth to stock some blooms. As the dew drop is slow, I could maintain a good stock until next WW.

Thank you for sharing your strategy. I am so glad to see we have an alternative to the willow!
That has been my limiting factor in every other storyline like this. Everything else is pretty easy to get. I have been dreading part 2 because I remember how annoying it was to grow and chop the zillion willows for the last storyline.
Will the cost of the shawl come down as more shawls are completed? I'm late (had 2 sick babies last week) in collecting and not sure I'm going to be able to complete in time. I'd just as soon pay the 200 now rather than wait, if I don't complete in time.
It depends on what cost you are referencing. The cost of an individual shawl will always remain the same. However the cost to complete a step with 20 shawls will decrease with every shawl you complete.
For example: Say a shawl is 1 gem (always closer to 50 or 200 but I like easy math).
To buy a shawl, it will always be 1 gem.
To complete a step that needs 20 shawls completing the step will start at 20 gems.
If you craft 5 shawls, that will drop to 15 gems because you only need 15 more shawls.
Hopefully this helps.

No, it means that the gem skip cost on the goal screen (in your blue book) will decrease the more you are able to craft. Keep going and make sure you're collecting from both the sawmill and the sparkling mine to craft as many as you can.
In the Rock Castle, that gem skip will not change as that is only the cost per shawl to gem skip - if you do need to skip, it will likely be much more cheaper to gem skip in the Magic Forge for the last couple of mystical sand jewels you need rather than buy a fully built shawl.
