Beautiful Blue Shawl

The lovely blue Handmaiden Spun Silk yarn that I treated myself to has been sitting in my yarn basket for a month now, waiting for me to decide what to make with it. Oh, I go over and pet it now and again to make sure it doesn't get lonely. I assembled some of my nicer yarn in the basket with it so it would have friends. In case anyone's interested, its friends are; 2 skeins of Lornas Laces Shepherd Sock in Bittersweet, 2 skeins of Regia Silk sock yarn in candy pink, a skein of monster-green Lacey Lamb laceweight, and the two skeins of hand dyed green Manos-like yarn from Dani.

My goal had always been to wear the yarn, as some sort of shawl, to an upcoming wedding. But I couldn't decide what to do with it. I thought I wanted to knit it in order to maximize every inch of the gorgeous stuff.

But then I ran across a beautiful crocheted capelet in Wrap Style. I'm about halfway done, and I just finished using the first ball. Deep breath and fingers crossed I will have enough yarn.

Here it is, half done. I hope you all approve!
