This is the Holden Shawlette, ((look for the pattern on Ravelry)). I actually did this one some time back, but never got around to wetting it down and pinning it to block it into shape. So I did.
It's pinned to one of our bathroom towels on top of an indoor-outdoor carpet in the basement that's there to keep feet from freezing if we dash downstairs to throw something in the laundry. The yarns are Blue Herons "Rayon Metallic" for the stockinette sections, and Dream in Color "Smooshy" for the lace.I originally wanted to do it all in the Rayon Metallic, but the skein had been turned into a gordian knot by impatient winding *cough* I'm looking at you Tilmani...*cough*...So I wasn't able to actually USE all of it. So I switched to some 'Dream in Color' I had around and created my first two color Holden Shawl. I'm actually working on a second one now, but it's for a friends daughter. It's still in the works but I've got a decent photo of it still on the needles anyway. It's actually kind of wild how much more clear the stitch definition is on the green "Springtime" colorway from Knitpicks than it was with the Plum Paisley Smooshy.
