I'm quite obsessed with Alice Starmore's "Alba", knitting like mad. (A phenomenon not particularly uncommon...) I've modified it by shaping the armholes to make it a little bit less too big (see earlier post) and will modifiy the neck too; I want it slightly deeper and narrower than the original design. How I wish the photo captured the colours! The gorgeous hints of different greens are lost, for example.

harika bir örgü ellerine sağlık..iyi pazarlar.
I am also an Alba fan. Would love to knit this in the colors shown in her book. Where do I find them? Either in a kit, or correct color numbers for Shetland wool, Jamieson/Smith brand? I tried to match them from the picture, however, was too frustrating! Any advise, would be greatly appreciated. Sheryl from Minnesota. PS. I am presently knitting Pacific and a Isager fan!
