Last night, or I guess early this morning, I wrote about how I was going to pick up my hibernating chroma fingering shawl sampler project. But today when I grabbed it...it just didn't peak my interest. I think part of the problem is that while the switching of patterns is highlighting the color change like I wanted it's not a very pretty shawl. I can tell even with blocking it's still going to be disappointing. So I'm going to frog it tonight and try a rectangular shawl on bigger needles. Still not sure which pattern I'm going to use yet. But maybe something from Knitty, or maybe something from the Vogue Stitch Dictionary. In anycase, the colors on this yarn need to be highlighted so maybe something plain.
Chroma Lights in progress
It's a fairly easy pattern that looks great with the color changes of the Chroma yarn. And since it's a center start shawl it feels like I've made leaps and bounds in progress after one day.
AnneM wrote the original in Finnish but was kind enough to translate it to a bunch of languages. There is something lost in translation, but once you get started on it the instructions start to make sense.
Update: The finished product, blocked.
