Closeup of the knitted edge. On the "waste yarn," aka a 52" cord from the Denise system. Now I need to figure out the knitted edging bindoff. It is knit from side to side, with 2 rows for every live stitch. That means 740 rows. Now why did I have to calculate that?
On the plus side, I like the shawl better now that I can lay it out. I believe the term is that the two yarns have the same saturation, which is a fancy way of saying brightness. Unfortunately the only photo of the whole shawl that wasn't blurry involved an accidental flash, so it really is bright:
I didn't want to deal with the yarn clutter on my table, so I present the clutter at Borealis Yarns instead.
But it's okay, they're professionals.

Okay, so now that I read your email and the blog, I am a bit confused. Sounds like you used 1 skein of Cherry Tree Hill varigated for the triangle and another of the "solid" for the borders? Yes? If that is the case, then I will for sure need both of my skeins of Gems Merino for the borders... much less yardage than CTH.
And of course, yours looks beautiful! I don't remember your bringing it the picnic. If you did, I totally missed it -wah!
