I have so many projects to share! I took pictures of 5 other things at the same time as this, and I have a couple more that I still need to photograph. I've been on a roll! :-)
This is the Spindrift Shawl by Helen Stewart. I was really drawn to the simplicity of this pattern. Plus, it was free when you sign up for some shawl workshop emails from her, so bonus! I can't say I learned a bunch of new things from the emails, but I can see how they would be helpful for newer knitters, and again... they are free!
I knew I wanted to use a beautiful sky-blue skein of Anzula Cricket that I had picked up at a local yarn shop, but there wasn't enough for a whole project. I went shopping at Roxy's Yarns, a new store in Tampa, for something to coordinate, and I settled on a pale gray semi-solid from The Fiber Seed. I had heard of The Fiber Seed before, but I didn't know that the dyer lives in Tampa!
I like how the dk-weight blue pops out a bit from the fingering-weight gray. This was a very relaxing knit, which is nice sometimes. My Ravelry project page is here, and I included more info on how I modified the pattern for two colors, if you are interested.

It's beautiful! Love the way the blue yarn pops! You're so talented! :-)
