I gave two hourly exams this week, so I worked more on the blue shawl. And this evening I took a photo of it for comparison
I think the last time I took a photo was in October but I admit other than exam times I didn't work on it a lot
I feel like I can relax a little bit about it, now that I won't be worrying about running short on the second skein, since I bought a complementary color skein for the lace part
The color of the body of the shawl is called "Egyptian stucco" (I don't know if they mean like faience, I don't know of stucco being used in Egypt, but there is a blue style of faience not too unlike the blue of the yarn - famously, the little hippo sometimes known as "William" is done in that faience)
Here's the contrasting/complementary color for the lace, it's the same yarn line ("Auxanometer," made of bamboo) but the color is "Alabaster"
The only thing I might have to take care with is when I block it; I don't want to risk the blue bleeding onto the cream color (possibly cool water to wet block, and then use white vinegar to help set the dye)
