Photo by Renee, Saturday at Marin Fiber Arts. This is what the Constance shawl looks like if you do it in a single-color yarn. It took me about 17-18 hours to knit it in this fingering-weight baby alpaca.
One note on the book: I did the smaller version of the Water Turtles shawl several times exactly as it is written in the book, a generously-sized example being Sandi’s shawl shown here: http://spindyeknit.com/2007/03/page/2/ While knitting the one that was photographed for the book, however, I skipped rows 30 and 32 in the yoke, making a shorter yoke. Either way works fine.

Alison,
My dear friend. You must start knitting this shawl in colors I can wear! (So I can grab the model-copy:-)) I’m here to say that my current chickens come in a number of good colors for me.
Red, brown, red-brown, gold, red-gold. It all works. (Peacock’s better, but my chicken’s don’t come in those colors!)
And yes, folks, I am Alison’s friend Constance, and the chicken feather snow only happened that one time in the past 9 years. Which makes me happy that I sent the girls out to play in the snow we had.
Alison’s stories are both very true, and very kind.
Cheers,
Constance
