Madeleine - Success!

Over on Ravelry in the Anthropologie group, the KAL theme was "yarn over it" or mesh/lace knitting.  I knit two things - a top that is in the "to be frogged" pile (wrong yarn choice), and this shawl.
 

 
This is knit with a wool/bamboo blend, and  I love both the yarn and the colour - beach glass.  It's too warm to wear now, but will be perfect for fall, winter, and spring.  The pattern is from Courtney Kelly and Kate Gagnon Osborne's book "Vintage Modern Knits".  I will be knitting a few other patterns from the book; all are classics.
