Casting On: Meandering Vines Shawl

I'm usually all about small projects. I've attempted large projects and have mostly failed to see them through to fruition (not including my Granorama Granny Blanket).

Having bought myself some rather lovely (so lovely I could almost eat it. Almost.) hand dyed Araucania Lonco Multy 100% cotton yarn this weekend I have decided to once again attempt something big.

The project I'm attempting is the Meandering Vines Shawl, designed by Susanna IC. I searched for completed projects using this yarn on Ravelry and found this lovely take on the pattern by user aklecamp.

I'm desperately hoping I find the balls and patience to see this through till the end, no matter how bitter it gets.
