Words can’t describe how much I adore this combination of colors, or the joy I feel when I work on this project. I am at my final color. I changed it from the Cloudborn Merino I had set aside before to Dream in Color Smooshy with Cashmere in Bermuda Teal because the teal color was too delicious and vibrant not to use. I fell in love with it at my LYS and broke my no buying yarn until Rhinebeck diet. Oh well. It’s a small taste, and every now and then you have to have a cheat day. I might have to cheat again when I see the speckled Koigu that is coming this week…
The pattern is Dotted Rays by Stephen West. You can find the link to his pattern and all of the yarn I used on my Ravelry project page for this WIP. I am making the larger size because I really wanted a huge comfy shawl and I loved this color combination. I think the Bermuda Teal is an even better transition from the Koigu green variegated yarns since it more closely matches the darker blue-green in the Koigu.
While I really wanted my striping transitions to transition only at the beginning of wedge sections, it didn’t always work out that way and I wanted to use as much of each yarn as I could. In the end, I don’t think it will really matter and I think it will be gorgeous no matter what. I can’t wait to see it off of the needles.
The Dotted Rays looks stunning in your chosen colours. The design has been on my ‘to do’ list ever since it came out and your version has just convinced me to stop putting it off.
I’m off to Ravelry to purchase the pattern right now, before I do anything else.

I love enabling… 😀
Oh my! That is seriously gorgeous!!! This pattern has also been on my To Do list. As soon as I finish my current WIP’s…which may take a little while since I keep getting distracted 😀
I have this pattern in my library and haven’t made it yet. I have a lovely waiting for rain shawl in green that makes me smile. Green is my absolute favorite color, this is a great combo.
What a color palette! It’s so zippy.
