Shawlette

It's really hard to take a photo of the back of yourself.  A shirt was a more cooperative model.
This is the Storm Cloud Shawlette.  When I first finished it, I wasn't too impressed.  I thought it was too small.  Now it's growing on me.  I think it will make a nice layer between my top and my jacket next winter.
Here's a view from the front.

The yarn is Charming by J. Knits.  It's mostly lambswool with some cashmere and angora.  I remember surfing the web and finding it.  I bought it because the colorway is Pueblo, which is the name of my hometown in Colorado.  However, the dyer's inspiration must have been something else because this green is much too lush to remind me of home.  Oh well, it's a nice color anyway.

I put it in my drawer of woolies to await next winter.

It'll be the perfect compliment to your coat this winter.

I would love to find one of those dress forms like they have on Project Runway for just this reason.
