tough choice--and hard to answer because I got the 08 cw of the shawl in late spring when it was getting hot where I live, so since then, I haven't used either shawl around here yet. I think the 06 will go better with my winter coats (one is red, the other black), once the weather gets cold here. But that said, I really like the 08 too.
Thank you for the input. They both look lovely on you! 08 has been on my list for a while, but it was your photos of 06 that had me dreaming of that cw.
This is definitely my favorite H design and looking at all of your lovely pictures just makes me want to acquire more of them. I've posted a few of these pictures in various threads but want to join the clubhouse with all of my Kimonos beauties in one place. My one 90cm is cw 2 and the shawls are cws 5,6, and 7. If I could, I would buy all of the shawls, they are simply perfection.

We are twins on 5 & 7, and 6 is on it's way to me for consideration.
I need to decide between 6 and 8. I wear a lot of grey, so I'm happy to see that the 6 looks so good with your grey sweater. Do you find 6 to be fairly versatile?
Thank you! Without a doubt, 6 is my favorite. It seems to go with everything. The black and white waves are so crisp and the pops of green, turquoise, red, and yellow tie it together well with any number of tops you might have beyond the range of blacks, whites, and greys with which it is an obvious winner. I tried on 8 but found it too pastel to suit my coloring. If you find it suits you though, would it reallllly be so bad to keep both?
You are very good at enabling, but four in the same design might be a little much (at least for now...)Thank you! Without a doubt, 6 is my favorite. It seems to go with everything.

Looking forward to seeing 06 IRL tomorrow. It looks fab on you, as do they all!

Oh, I LOVE them all! We are silk twins
I would love to get it in cashmere, but kind of cannot justify its price vs. quality everybody is complaining about
.
Oh my goodness this colorway just set me on fire. I need it!This is definitely my favorite H design and looking at all of your lovely pictures just makes me want to acquire more of them.

06 arrived and it is spectacular, but it is not me. I LOVE looking at this cw, and it looks fabulous on PoliticalGal, La Vie en Rose, and Lala, but I can't pull off the intense yellow-green. This is such a vibrant and glorious cw, but I feel like the shawl is wearing me, so I must say adieu.
For now, 05 works best for me. Looking forward to seeing 08 IRL...

OMG! I must have it! You and PG are killing me today!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since I have never seen IRL, lemme just make sure... are the "waves" black and white????
TY Monceau! Not to kill you with questions but is the red in the shawl a true red... brite red like Rouge Casaque??? My monitor reads your pic as a true red like this...

Ohhh, this is stunning! I thought I wasn´t able to crave one more, but I think I am! The .....yellow-green...you talk about swayed me over! I think I have to have this!
