Sadly, I felt I had to knit the whole damn thing before I was really really sure it wasn't working. I don't have photos; it looked so awful I just frogged it in disgust.
So when I got over my anger and started rooting around my stash and my queue again, I had intended to make Damson with another lovely skein of yarn, Sundara Fingering Silky Merino. But that looked too drapey, and believe me, I've learned my lesson. (For now, anyway. I'm sure I'll make the same mistake again. Why can't a yarn just do what I want it to???)
So I dug out the now-despised Sliver Moons Fingering again, only to have it behave perfectly wonderfully when used with the right pattern.
It helped, of course, that Damson is both lovely and graceful and totally intuitive--and it's oh, so comfortable. I always wear my shawls like scarves, but they never stay quite right--Damson curves perfectly.

I think it is just lovely! I knit Damson a few years ago and ran out of yarn at the end... So frustrating.
