I have been working pretty steadily on this shawl while reading. I have been reading Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Tales, which are the source for the series "The Last Kingdom" although they changed enough that it was confusing to be reading the early books while watching the series, so we stopped watching the series and kept reading the books. We had a similar experience with Game of Thrones. We will watch it, eventually, after it is complete. We doubt the novels ever will be finished, which is sad, because he created a very rich world (with some very twisted people in it, I really wonder about authors sometimes). We've also read the Expanse novels, which made the TV series easier to understand, because that first season was pretty confusing.
Color A in the shawl is Unknown. Seriously, that is the name of the colorway, although if you didn't know what it was you might have a hard time determining the name from the label.
The top label is the band from Color A. The k is easy to pick out, but the rest? Color B is Sugared Violets, which is easy enough to read, and it is dominated by purple, my favorite color. I've been striping it in for a little while now, but have now cut Color A and am only working with Color B.
