Colour catastrophe?

I ordered some yarn last Friday and yesterday it arrived - yay!

Unfortunately, while two of the skeins were precisely the colour shown on the website, the remaining four were BROWN! Definitely a case of crafy lighting on the part of the photographer as it looked more bronze/gold. Instead, it is a light wood/cork colour.

I am keen to get started on the project so I've decided to use it anyway (it will look nice in the shawl design I'm planning to do) and embellish it with colourful beads.

I had planned to spend the entire evening working on my cardigan sleeves, but ended up going shopping with a friend instead. So I only managed two or three rows before bed. Oh well, I have the whole weekend to finish them!

Tune in tomorrow for my first attempt at blocking...
