The Cedar Leaf Shawlette was one of those "have to" knit items. The yarn is absolutely luscious and I wish you could feel how soft it is. It is Madelinetosh Pashmina and is my all time favorite yarn so far. I have worked on this off and on for several months when I needed something mindless to knit. The leaves took concentration but the rest of the shawl was easy.
The other project is my second Ishbel. It is knit from Madelinetosh Tosh Sock yarn which is also very soft but not quite as soft as the above mentioned yarn. I ran out of yarn on the last lace section because I was trying to knit the larger of the lace patterns. Searching online for the same yarn was not getting me anywhere. I found a sweet person on Ravelry that had one skein to spare and thanks to her, I was able to finally finish it. I am still amazed what blocking does to lace and it is fun to see the finished results.
