I stayed up very late every night this weekend in hopes of finishing my blue shawl but alas and alack no. Sometime later this week it *should* be done. Until then I am contemplating my next major project-the cover sweater from IK Spring ’97 designed by Vivian Hoxbro. I have liked this sweater since the issue first came out and socked away the yarns called for:
After many times starting this sweater I decided I don’t particularly care for light seafoamy blue color. I thought, when collecting the yarns, the acid was icky but have fallen in love with it in conjuncture with all the other colors. Definitely the pale blue is the one giving me the willies. I am also one of those color unsure type of knitters. So please give me your take on these two other alternate colorways I have come up with. NOTE the yarns in the color alternates were discontinued long before Hoxbro sat down to combine her color combo. They come from the Rowan Donegal Brights range:
or the even longer gone Rowan Light Tweed range:

PLEASE PLEASE shout out. Thanks
