Something different

I have been mangling my yellow Hiraeth.  Successfully I think.  I hope.  



When I started working on it yesterday, the first thing I thought was 'such luxury'.  It slid so soft through my fingers.  The yarn is Arcane Fibre Works and I can only say It.  Is.  Delicious.  

In real life, the yellow is brilliant.  It's such a clear strong colour.  It will break any glum winter spirit I get into.

I have been thinking about shawls lately.  I used to wear one at night to keep the chill off my shoulders.  I need a new one.  It has to be something not too fancy and I need the shape to be simple.  I am thinking about Vera Valimaki's 3/4 Hap shawl or a simple triangle.  I am not set on yarns yet but I am thinking about it.  I do have a lot of choices.  

I love my sweater knitting but it's kind of fun, thinking seriously about something different.
