May Flowers - Finished!

I finished casting this off Sunday morning.  I really like how it came out and may make another one.  I didn't pin it when I was blocking, I just laid it out on the mats and patted it into shape.

I do have a fair bit of yarn left over - the project only used about 238 grams, leaving me about 100 grams leftover.  I'm collecting all of my Kiri leftovers in a bag and will make something with them - maybe a hack on one of Ambah O'Brien's patterns.

May Flowers - Half Way Done

After finishing up my English Garden shawl I immediately cast on May Flowers.  The pattern is the Impressionists MKAL by Helen Stewart.  I actually created a project page back in March, but never got around to choosing my yarn, getting wrapped up instead in a couple of other projects that took priority.  After getting back from Bead & Button and focusing on my English Garden shawl I decided to use my other Spring Trio on the Impressionist shawl, and as my husband will attest, once I decide on something I want to execute.

The colors are, from top to bottom, Wildflowers, Ranunculus and Bluebird Skies.  I really like the speckled Wildflowers skein and the way the pink blends with it while the blue pops.
