Love the theme!!

Hate rectangular shawls, but bought the pattern before I noticed that detail. Ah well. Mine will be a poncho.

Clue 1 drops on March 1st (first thing in the am EDT), with clues 2-5 releasing on March 8th, March 15th, March 22nd, and March 29th.

Going with three colors:

Undyed as MC
Kermit Green as C1, C3, and C5
Cookie Monster Blue as C2, C4, and C6

Now rethinking colors and looking two other possibilities…

The Dipinto reminds me of Electric Mayhem.

So maybe

Undyed as MC
Electric Mayhem as C1 and C4
Kermit Green as C2 and C5
Cookie Monster Blue as C3 and C6

My first poncho idea didn’t work. Now trying a different idea I have used before to make a sort of top using folds and seams.
