Color Affection Update

I gave in to peer pressure and picked three colors of Plucky Knitter Primo MCN to use for the Color Affection shawl: Lincoln (a coppery brown), Milk Maid (a creamy yellow), and Edwardian Blue (a pale greeny blue).

Tactile Fiber Arts, Wool Candy, Three Irish Girls

Selection Two:

Malabrigo Sock
