I took a small detour by signing up for a contest to fast knit a shawl using a particular colorway in the Verdant Gryphon Group. The colorway - Orchids for Miss Blandish.
The yarn looked like this -
It's a lovely combination of blues, turquoise, and redpink / redpurple, with ranges of pastels in between - lavender, and periwinkle, light blues, and light greens. Really, a very pretty mix.
Based on this inspiration photo:
The planned project The Age of Brass and Steam Shawl with an additional section of 14 rows.
Mods: 7R, 10R, 12R, 14R, and jssbo for bind-off.
It ended up taking more like a week than a couple of hours. I guess I'm
just not a fast knitter anymore..and I need to focus on other things
these days..
Here's the finished pic (pre-block, as per the contest instructions). Unfortunately, my deck door was casting an odd shadow:
