12/25/12- the green bled a lot while soaking. Had to soak it 3 times before the water ran clear. Hope it is still vibrant after it dries.

Love my new shawl. Only had enough yarn for 11 repeats instead of 12 and cut the border about 1/2 inch short because I was getting garter-fatigue and needed it to be over.

It grew oodles while blocking and is an awesome size now. Love. It.
