Starry Dreams - Finished!

I finished this on July 28, but the last two weeks have been pretty crazy work-wise, and I just haven't gotten around to posting it.  I did the bind off with some leftover Dream in Color Classy in Lunar Zazzle from my first year participating in Camp Loopy.  I might have had enough of the Dream in Color Starry to work the bind off, but I really didn't feel like playing yarn chicken.  I can't really seem to capture the beauty of this shawl in pictures.

It wears very well, sitting nicely on the shoulders.  The blocking picture at least reveals the lace pattern.  The design with the lace and cables in the first part is very clever and provides a nice shaping.

Starry Dreams - Halfway Done

Last month I saw a beautiful shawl pattern on Ravelry (I know, when don't we find beautiful shawl patterns on Ravelry).  This one was the called Hopes and Dreams by Ágnes Kutas-Keresztes.  You sign up for the knit along and you get the first clue for free.  If you finish the first clue by 25 July, you will get the full pattern added to your Ravelry library.  If you don't, you will have to buy the pattern in order to finish the shawl.  I went stash diving (I'm trying very hard to work from my stash as much as possible) and came up with two skeins of Dream in Color Starry from the 2015 January Dream Club.  I cast on July 4th, and finished up the first clue this past weekend.  I've caked up the second skein.  You can work the shawl in two different colors, but I opted for a single color for mine.  The yarn is a tonal variegated yarn, and the picture does not do the colors justice, or show how sparkly it is.
