Don't you love how things change...

Isn't that GORGEOUS!?  Personally I'm not a huge fan of the color but the motifs are to die for.  I have decided that I will be making this shawl instead of the previous one I posted a picture for.  I got the yarn and I worked up a few motifs for the other one and it just wasn't jiving, you know?  So I trawled the net again, looking for something that made me go "Wow!" and this was it.  All the details about this fantastic shawl can be found here.  I will have to swatch with the yarn I have and see if it's going to work.  But man!  I'm just drooling all over the place!  I think after I finish making one for the swap I will have to make one for myself!

I've also started stash-busting...making hats (and a matching scarf if I have enough yarn) to donate to local shelters and humanitarian projects.  I will also probably make up some little blankies to donate to the animal shelter so that the kitties will have something warm to snuggle in.
