Casapinka's newest MKAL: Snark-O-meter

Last year at this time, I started Casapinka's MKAL:  the Sharon Show.  And I had so much fun knitting it! And then I LOVED the finished item as well.  Then when everyone was knitting Botanique, I again joined the MKAL!  And I also like that finished project as well!  So this summer when Casapinka announced her newest MKAL I decided to join in the fun even though I do not love the name:  Snark-O-Meter.  

So the first step is to find the right yarn for the project.  My stash did not yield four skeins of fingering yarn that made me want to jump into the project.  And dog gone it.....Miss Babs had a kit that I LOVED!  But when it arrived it was darker than I had imagined when I saw it on her site.  And I just could not envision knitting those colors on a beautiful fall day...or for that matter mid August either.  So I decided that I would just miss this MKAL.  But then I found a kit that I could not resist.  I bought it from The Yarn Club.  

Three of the skeins are autumn and Indigo and the fourth is Knerd String 4-ply fingering.

And the blue is a different brand:

And then II began to agonize (my favorite thing to do with knitting!) over which set I would use.  Finally

I chose to go with the original set and it is turning out quite well.  the yarn is Miss Babs Yummy 2-ply and the colors are 

I like it so far. These knit alongs are fun to knit on as they are never boring.

I finally finished the shawl in February 2022.  I LOVE IT!  Oh, my!  It is so soft and fun to wear.  Here are a couple of photos to show it off:
