Beautiful and Fashionable

July 9th, 2011

I LOVE this rectangular shawl patter from Blue Sky Alpacas.  Here, it’s knit in a neutral beige but I like it so much I want one in a color, dark red maybe.  Its long enough to knot off the shoulder, or you can wrap it around you like a cozy blanket.  And it’s great for travel – on a recent trip I was almost never without it.  You can wear it with jeans or a dress.  I got lots of compliments!  It’s knit in Blue Sky’s Alpaca Silk – good to work with, keeps it’s shape and doesn’t pill (in spite of tossing the shawl around quite a bit).  In short, a great project you’ll actually wear.
