Happy Monday

This is Charade, a nice little pattern download from Ravelry.  The good news is:  It's free. So far, so good.  I'm hoping the multi-colored yarn won't take away from the pattern, since the pattern itself is a little difficult to detect, even with solid colored yarn.  Time will tell, as well as, hundreds more stitches. 

This timid Jacaranda was caught in partial bloom.  Another month and parts around here will be decorated with an abundance of these blooms, as far as the eye can see.
