Work in progress

A second Flower Basket Shawl, this time in Elann's Peruvian Collection Baby Cashmere. Good stuff. There are flyaway strands but I ignore them and they manage to insinuate themselves back into the knitted fabric. I believe this is the fifth pattern repeat.

The bumps on the back are wonderful, aren't they? They remind me of snowy moguls, which I tried once when I used to snowboard. And yes, that *is* a yarn join in the middle of the shawl. It will hide itself well, as it did in my last two shawls.

Light-colored shawls usually don't do it for me; something about the perceived formality influences my opinion when selecting shawl yarn. This, however, will be for a friend who's expecting. I intend for it to be a christening shawl and baby blanket (hence, the color), or for the friend/mom when attending an organized-religion gathering (ha ha).

I have washed my skeins! And they've been drying oh so prettily in the one day of sun we had this weekend.
