New colours of Ito which lead to a new project

Mr. FedEx came this afternoon just as I was leaving the store. We have two new colours of Noro Ito
Above is 76 and below is 91. They aren’t on the website yet - I’ll do that tomorrow.
Noro's Ito yarn is a kaleidoscope of color and texture that ignites the imagination. Ito is not just any yarn—it's a slubby, worsted weight wonder, crafted from 100% wool and packaged in generous 200-gram skeins boasting 437 yards of creative potential. Prepare to be mesmerized as you knit with Ito, as its ever-changing color spectrum unfolds before your eyes. One of Noro's most vibrant creations, Ito weaves together a symphony of hues, daring you to count the myriad colors dancing within each ball. A single skein of Ito is more than enough to knit a captivating scarf, but it also shines brilliantly when used for head-turning sweaters and statement accessories. Embrace the challenge and let your creativity soar with Noro's Ito yarn—where every stitch tells a story of color, texture, and endless inspiration.

This happened when I got home. I’ve been uninspired by my current knitting. It happens to everyone. I thought a new project would get me going. I normally pick colours that are very different so it will be interesting to see how this comes out. So far so good. What is the pattern? Andrea Mowry’s Nightshift (purchased on Ravelry). I’ve knit the shawl many times and enjoy it. The Nightshift also makes great blog posts - lots of colour.

Now to finish my tea and knit a few more rows. Once you start a Nightshift it’s hard to put it down. What is the next colour going to look like?
