I Started a New Shawl

When I bought this cake of yarn, I knew I wanted to use it for a rectangular feather and fan shawl. Easy, right? 

It took two days of knitting and about eight inches of shawl for me to decide that this garter stitch version was way too dense and not at all what I wanted.

Now I'm working on a different variation that's making me much happier. Those stripes of color that are so clear in the picture aren't visible to the naked eye. I can take pictures of the shawl in natural daylight...but if it's going to spend most of the time inside where I can't see the color changes, does that help?
