post clue-al letdown

Well. I decided to knit my mystery along with the mystery shawlies. What fun! I've actually never KAL'd with everyone because I'm always rushing off to the next thing. But this time I decided to do another version in neutral colors since these particular two yarns have been whispering my name for a long long time. The original mystery is in lovely Floating yarn from A Verb for Keeping Warm: Filigree and Thai Iced Tea.

My second version (because I kept staring at that shawl and thinking how great this combo would look) is in yarn from Sincere Sheep: Agleam in Neblima (grey) and Tenacious in Winter's Night (deep blue-purple).

So now I've gotten the first mystery clue under my belt and it's back to Y3! That would be the "Home is Where the Heart Is" series. :) Are you ready for some teasers on the three color shawl?

I'm loving the way this one looks. Some of you may have seen a few small pics in my twitter feed, but I think you have to back up to appreciate the full idea.

This one is done in Lorna's Laces Solemate, a very nifty yarn that has a lovely gleam and drape to it. And kits will be available from Jimmy Beans Wool (honest! but right now I can't find them)! I love the way the colors seem to shift as I'm working on it.

Now off to clean up the construction dust (more on that later!) and then #1 Son and I are going to see a movie. He actually wants to go somewhere with me! Dude. I'd better not embarrass him.
