Yes. Another shawl project, and another mystery shawl. That makes three lace shawls on my needles right now. And 5 magnetic boards for my charts. Methinks I am a bit out of control here, but I just love lace knitting. This is the Evenstar Mystery Shawl by Susan Pandorf of A Few Stitches Short that is making such a splash on Ravelry. Susan is using Blue Moon Fiber Arts Silk Thread II in Winter Solstice. I bought the yarn in Tanzanite (purple, of course) and then also bought it in Winter Solstice after Susan posted pictures of hers. But I also bought this Eos in Aubergine (50/50 Tussah Silk/Wool) from The Unique Sheep. I swatched with the Silk Thread II in the Winter Solstice and it is a beautiful yarn, but I wasn't sure I wanted to make this out of pure silk. The other advantage of the Eos is that the wonderful people at The Unique Sheep put up 6 oz hanks that are long enough to knit the entire shawl, so no joining, which I would have to do with the Silk Thread II.
