Happy New Year!

Now that the holiday knitting is finished, I've picked Catalina back up. I'm through the first repeat, done with one of two small skeins of handspun silk from a friend:

The blue blanket wasn't the best choice for a background, but it was convenient. The next repeat is a shade or two lighter, but it's not quite as noticeable in person as it appears in these pictures. I'll do a repeat in this yarn, then another in a still lighter aqua, then two repeats (which will be the center) in white before reversing and ending up again with the other skein of my friend's handspun.
