You can never have too many shawls

This week I finished the Tussah Silk version of the Sweet November Shawl.  At first I was a bit disappointed with the way it was hanging but after a severe blocking it improved greatly.  The lace really opened up and it stretched into a very wearable shape. I wouldn't say that I am a huge fan of Tussah Silk and doubt that I will use it again but am glad that I tried it.

The Belmondo Shawl is a pattern that I have been wanting to try for a while but couldn't decide which yarn to use.  After rummaging through my stash, I came across a pack of Patons Dew which is a nice silk/cotton/acrylic/viscose mix. I got this in a sale years ago.  So far it is knitting up nicely with just the right amount of drape.  The pattern is easy to memorize and quite effective.
 
Yet another Wiksten Tank in Liberty Tana Lawn.  This is such a simple project and I would be happy to have a hundred of them hanging in my wardrobe.  The simple design really shows of a beautiful fabric.
