Watermelon Shrug - Two Stripes Done

I have several projects on the needles right now, but I've mostly been working on this one.  I like the colors, and the simplicity.  I didn't realize, until I was looking at the project pages for my other shrugs that for my first Watermelon Shrug I started with the greens, not the reds/pinks.  I tend to start with the darkest color and work to the lightest, although with the first Watermelon Shrug I worked dark - light - dark - light, putting the darkest color next to the central panel.  For this one I will be working dark - light - dark, ending with the darker green.

Pattern:  Traveling Zebra Shrug by Carolyn Blakelock
Yarn:  Biscotte & Cie Bis-sock
Needles:  US 2.5 (3 mm) and US 4 (3.5 mm)
