Another Shawl


This morning before starting work, I put in the final stitches on the border of the Melon Shawl. During lunch I blocked it out on the living room floor, and have a fan set on it.
Specs
Pattern: Melon Shawl from Victorian Lace Today
Yarn: Berocco Ultra Alpaca Fine, color Oceanic Mix, 2 full skeins plus a tiny bit (15 yards?) of a third.
Needles: Bamboo circulars US 6
Finished Size: 28X88. This is much larger than the pattern, but the yarn is a bit heavier, and I'm not sad at all. It's a gorgeous shawl!

I get to head home this afternoon, not looking forward to the drive, but I AM ready to be there already! I've started another shawl (can't let the needles grow cold) out of Malabrigo Lace in Geranio. This is stash yarn, purchased 3 or so years ago, and I've been trying to figure out what pattern to use. I settled on Gail - can't find the link at the moment, but I'll hunt it up. And there's always socks on the needles...
