Knitting Asanagi -
Yellow, pink, greys, greens and blue.
Sunset on the clouds
I bought five colours of Socks Yeah! for this, but also have most of a ball I’d bought for striping in socks, and found it was a different thickness/texture to the other yarns. So I have three skeins of grey/blue/grey-green, one of dark green, and one of pink, plus the partial ball in gold. I think if I do gold-pink-greys-dark green, it should look like clouds at sunrise/sunset. I’m hoping to get at least 23 triangles from the gold, which is what I’m starting with. (And if I don’t, well, I’ll take what I can get, or start again with the full ball of pink.)
Started on a 3mm needle, but my garter stitch looked messy (and I don’t think the bamboo needle was right for the yarn anyway), so have gone down to 2.75mm, which looks better.

Yay, I got a full 25 triangles from the gold! (With about 3g left over…)

OK, for the record, the colours I’m using are 1) gold (Sphene), 2) pink (Ammolite), 3) dove-grey (Kunzite), 4) blue-grey (Beryl), 5) grey-green (Chryso), 6) dark green (Malachite), and 7) dark blue (Benitoite).
I finished the pink tier this evening (with 4.99g left!), and have now done 2 triangles of the dove-grey.

And… having wound the dark green (by hand, because my swift broke!) on Tuesday, I went to IKnit today, and realised that the Topaz colour of this yarn would be FAR better than the dark green Malachite! Boo. So I bought a skein and am hand-winding that too, as there are only 3 triangles of the Chryso to go.

Just finished the last Chryso triangle & cast on with the Topaz. And had a thunk, & weighed the remaining bits. Either I’m knitting very unevenly or the balls (OK, I didn’t weigh the unused balls to start with! But they’re all supposed to be 50g) were not all the same weight
Sphene (partial to start with) - 3.22g left
Ammolite - 4.80g
Kunzite - 3.54g
Beryl - 3.09g
Chryso - 5.17g
Veeeery iiiinteresting.

I haiku’d for this shawl on the train out to a party tonight. Yes, there was a glorious sunset with just these colours.
