I love this yarn. Its lace tweed and I think I found the perfect shawl. I was browsing Ravelry and came across Bendis' Icelandic Shawl. And she did her's true to the book.
But I think Cheryl Oberle's Triangle Feather and Fan will look nice in my three color selection.
I originally swatched in the denim, but decided that the sinfully rich chocolate should be the center. The denim is a true denim if anyone is looking for something to go direct with a pair of jeans. And the golden yellow is beautiful too. You can get your fix at Loop. Thanks Craig for finding this yarn.
Happy knitting!!!

Miralda Finished
Its done and I love it!
Ok, I cast on too tight, like I always do. I used a size 10 needle to cast on, I don't know why ... oh well.
Happy Knitting!
Now I have to figure out what the heck is wrong with my iPod/iTunes music. I can't hear my music while I'm playing on ravelry or blogging.
I think maybe I should trade my Dell Laptop in for a MAC!!

Miralda Shawl Home Stretch ...
I am loving this shawl!
I love the yarn too! Classic Elite Yarns Silky Alpaca Lace - 2 skeins
Ok, I wasn't crazy about those nupps, but I stood my ground. Granted it slowed me down purling those nupps together, but it was definitely worth it in the end, they look lovely. I have two extra balls of this colorway, maybe I'll trade them in for black or maybe I can swap with someone out there in lace loving land. Any takers?
