Notes

Just couldn’t resist ;-)
I really admire his designs.
And I promised myself NOT to start anything that wasn’t in my queue. Bad girl!

OK, so I need to pick the yarn now.
Thinking of fingering weight in some nature colors.

Finally I’ve got the yarn. I’m so not sure about the base color (what looks blue in the pic, in reality is verigated green/blue). But I can’t find a substitute that I’d fancy.

So I’ve got
base: green/blue (more on the green side)
other 1: purple/green
other 2: grey/green

The shawl might be either great or terrible in these colors.

Changing the blue/green yarn to black.

Got the 1st clue, but having seen how little I’ll make I decided to wait for the second one.
The final colors are:
a: purple/green
b: gray/green
c: black

Yesterday finished 2nd clue, so today I can continue. I’m getting more and more interested in the end result… and impatient ;-)

25/08/2011
Started 3rd clue.
Almost sure I’m really disapointed in this shawl. Starting to hate the colors I’ve chosen - I really must stop trying to like purple.

Decided to frog it to use the yarn for my Inspira Cowl. I hate everything about this pattern. It was a waste of money and yarn. Rip, rip, R.I.P.
