This gorgeous little bit of knitting delight is the Powdersnow Shawl by Lisa Hannes. I don't knit as many shawls as I used to a few years ago (because how many little shawls does a girl really need?) but this one has been calling to me for a couple of years.
The yarn I used for this design is Shibui Staccato, the same yarn I used for my Knitty Design Recital. I love the softness and drape of this merino/silk yarn. It also blocks beautifully. My color of choice this time was "suit."
Here you can see the three distinct textured sections - a knit/purl textured stitch, some cables, and a simple ribbed edge. Gorgeous simplicity.

The photo below is a pretty good representation of the color - a little lighter than a true navy.
This has been my take-with-me knitting for a few months now. I am excited to pick out another small project for that purpose. Maybe some socks! I have definitely come around to the call of sock knitting since I have discovered my love of wearing them.
I attempted to take some style shots, but my timer always makes for blurry photos, and the dark color was causing the same problem as black - no detail visible.
You are a beautiful knitter.
