Cast on with 3.75 mm needle as the 3.5 mm was not giving me guage. One of the Nebulosity I have caked seems to be sun faded, as it had been close to the bedroom window. Start the other wing from same skein, and use faded skein for 3rd lek.
Blocked my 1st 2 sections of Lek 1. I have guage on 3.75mm needle, started Lek 2 to work on while other is drying.
Starting stripe 3 is a challenge, but pulled back a couple of times, and can now read the diagonal brioche stitches. Need to watch for accidental Knit yarn overs, rather than Slip yo. Not frogging again to fix, may duplicate stitch later as they are on the skinny end which is likely to curl.
Working lek 1 & 2 concurrently.

My second section of diagonal brioche is so much better than the 1st ( that also contains mistakes), that I will have to call it a learning exercise and frog section 3 and start again, I am 3/4 the way through section 3 of the 2nd lek so will complete the section, and alternate re-knitting 1st lek brioche and section 4 in the lightly speckled grey of the 2nd lek, as a break from the purple brioche knit for 4th time.

Started stripe 6 lacework on 1st lek, 2nd lek still at diagonal brioche stripe 5.

Started stripe 7 on each Lek. Finished 1st skein of Nebulosity, added a few extra stitches but maintained the rows of the chart, as shortening the number of rows in the purple, to give a deeper shawl.

Started stripe 9 with second skein of Nebulosity, joined to filling centre triangle on 3rd April, using the contrast before switching to the Nebulosity for 1st stripe in stockinette.
Casting off the joining centre triangle 6th April.
Cast off lek 3 on 13th April, after replacing a section of stockinette with diagonal brioche.
Only lightly blocked, I have lots of drape on 3.75mm needle.
Blocked depth 1 metre, wingspan 282 cm. I will make 3 large tassels in the Nebulosity for the ends rather than do bead decoration, as it needs the weight, and a small diamond to sew over the hole in the middle.
I knit the patch on smaller 3.25 mm needle (as a square), and embroidered a diamond outline with thicker grey yarn, before sewing over the hole and securing the edges on inside as well. Each tassel weigh approximately 13 grams.

Each tassel is 16 cm in length, and they are doing their job of stabilising the shawl, as well as using up the majority of the limited edition colourway. Wingspan with tassels 314 cm, and depth 114 cm
