🧶🧶🧶 In process of selecting 1st major project of 2025. Would love your feedback on each option.
I know you all know how to assess a pattern, separate from colors used in photo. I've got very different color stories in mind for these. Your thoughts are most welcome, and thank you! 🙏💞🙏

1. Striped Thundercloud by Stephen West, each modular section is knit onto the next, a lot of ends to weave in but I don't really care about that, so many ways to mix and match seven colors, each having an equal presence, wingspan is 72" and would continue graduated size of bolts as defined in pattern, to reach desired wingspan of 90"-100"

2. Jaali Crescent by Kieran Foley, an Irish knitwear designer who designs a lot of shawls, known as well for his colorwork, also a fine photographer, this wingspan is 71" but want something 90"-100" across, which I would probably do by going up a needle size and/or add additional repeats of upper and lower medallions

3. Winter Lights by Stephen West, some very interesting color combos with greatly varying effect can be seen on projects done in that pattern (almost 2k!), design is for 68" wingspan and I want something larger, 90-100" across), so would probably introduce a 4th CC and additional repeat band of both bubbles and chevron border

  Winter Lights Shawl pattern by Stephen West
  
  This semi-circular shawl features four skeins of yarn, one skein of the main color with three accent colors. The top-down construction begins with garter stitch and slip stitch rays. You only work with one color at a time for an enjoyable and surprisingly simple process. Little slip stitch dots and bubbles frame the larger sections and a colorful honeycomb section fills the middle of the shawl. Finish the edge with a wavy border using all contrast colors and enjoy your new Westknits shawl!
