Gale - Finished
I fell in love with this design while Anne Hanson (Knitspot) was still swatching it. Simple upswept motifs of stockinette against a reverse stockinette neighboring patch of stiches. Easy. Understated. Somehow moving. And the yarn! The yarn is incredible and blooms to be even more so after a bath - cormo/angora from Wooly Wonka Fibers in "Dusk" - a lovely muted purple. I made the petite, 
which blocked to 25" X 84", but probably shrunk back a bit after unpinning. It is sufficiently lightweight to be able to be used as a scarf or a stole. I'm loving it enough to take it with me to Ireland, and the Dusk colorway blends nicely with my traveling Eggplant colored rainjacket.
Oh my goodness, that is gorgeous!

This is a nice pattern. It's one I've been considering. I may make it later this year. Love the color you used. Very similar to the photo with the pattern.

I've been doing some catching up reading. So many beautiful projects. I love the lavendery purple shawl. Such a beautiful collie. We had one when I was a child about 6. And a trip to Ireland! I'm looking forward to hearing about that.
