Space Mermaid - Finished!

Space Mermaid 
I finished my Space Mermaid shawl!  This is the Self-Acceptance shawl pattern, but I worked it in two colors (the pattern only uses one, I figured the two color variation out myself).  Since I was working from two skeins, I was able to make it bigger also.
Space Mermaid
I used two Eat.Sleep.Knit exclusive yarns since this was part of my submission for the Q3 KAL, based on exclusive colorways.  The navy color is Squoosh Fiberarts Rapture in Planet 9 (from the 2016 space themed Yarnathon) and the multicolored green is Squoosh Fiberarts Beefcake Sock in Kelp Forest (from this year's Under the Sea Yarnathon).
Space Mermaid
It was fun to watch the two yarns work together and I'm thrilled with the finished shawl.  I decided to do an I-cord bind off using the Planet 9 to finish it off.

Would you be willing to provide slightly more detailed notes on how you handled the color change?

It looks like you are bringing it in immediately after the SSK on Row 3 of the setup section, but I'm not sure.

Thank you,
Jenn
