Find Your Fade (phase two.....almost complete)

I have turned the corner.  See it here.

That means I am over halfway through with this shawl.

My next color is a different yarn and a transition color taking me in a  whole new direction.

It is a speckled yarn from Hedgehog Fibres that has some of the blue/green  in it but takes me in the direction of pinks from here on out.  It is 100% wool, also, and the color is  called Teacup.  

Here's a peek at the new yarn worked up into the shawl; and I am spot on with my stitch count right now......woohoo.

Next is the lace section in this color and then a new color melting.  

So glad I made it through the lace section.  This yarn is a bit thinner than the rest and it was giving me a hard time, but I made it!

"Color melting",,,,,,I just love that description.  It sounds so cool, yet that is actually what is happening here.

My next color (#6) is by Quince&Co. and it is called Dogwood.  It's a change from what I had planned originally because as I have knitted my way through this shawl I like the gradual ....fade.  If I had used the next color that was set up for color #6, I think I would have been disappointed because the color change would have been too great.  So, I am using the color (Dogwood) which was meant to be my #7 color. 

Now because of my change of direction, I have caused a dilemma for myself.  I didn't realize I needed two skeins for section #6 and only one skein for section #7.  

Now I am one skein short on section #6 and maybe no skeins for section #7.  I am going to have to re-evaluate whether I want to use this next skein or choose something different.

I may have to put this away for a little while until I decide and that is why I am posting pix of this now.

Wish me luck.
