I may be a tad obsessed

I joined the '10 Shawls in 2010' group on Ravelry and have proceeded to have the most amazing fun with it. I'm using stash yarn for the most part, using up the Colourmart cashmere and sock yarn I've been hoarding which is too pretty to be used for socks.



This is Brangian. The yarn is Djinni Sock by Dragonfly Fibers in a colourway called 'Riptide'. I really enjoyed this project and will do a larger sized Brangie at a later date. She's a small size, only a shawlette really.



This is Wandering the Moor. (Did I mention that I'm a sucker for evocative or beautiful names?) The yarn is 100% pure cashmere from Colourmart, bought for some ridiculously low price back when they were Ebay-only. You buy it oiled for machine knitting and it smells and is all stringy, but then you wash it with dishwashing liquid and it blooms to this amazing softness. I've had this yarn for years, but as soon as I saw this pattern I knew this was how the yarn needed to be used. I've rarely had a yarn and pattern marry so instantly and so well. I made the large size, but the entire thing weighs only 136 grams.
