springtime colour - turquoise

I've done it again - shopped for yarn while I have a stash and queue full!  Went to my LYS and found a window of blue yarns and a shawl.  Inside, lots of displays of cottons, silks, and lighter-weight yarns.  Made me feel like abandoning my bulky wool pullover right away!  I've had my eye on the cover pattern of the latest Vogue Knitting for a while - like the mesh, the length, and the style of it:

I decided on Berroco Weekend DK (cotton and acrylic blend) in the Turquoise colourway:

I also have my turquoise Paloma in the queue, so next two projects will be in the blues.  The Pantone Spring 2014 color card includes a Placid Blue (under the sketch of the woman) that is fairly close to my yarn colour.
