Maybe Not

My knitting year has had more fits than starts so far. I bought what I thought was a gorgeous combination of yarns last summer, but they don’t want to cooperate in the shawl I selected for them. I still love the yarns, but this is definitely not the shawl I was envisioning. This is the start of Shawl B by Letes Knits.

After I hated the brown/cream speckle combo, I tried out the orange/cream speckle and the brown/orange to see which one was the best. 

Orange and cream speckle won and look much more appealing, but then the next section is brown in lace and it is a hard no for me. It looks so dingy.

Back to the drawing board for me. Perhaps the yarn will look better in The Frank Shawl? Time will tell. Enjoy the knitting season!
