New project

I've had some purple (read PURPLE!) alpaca that I bought a while ago because I liked it. I did not have a project in mind at the time. Since then, I have been looking for a pattern for this yarn. Today I finally found a pattern I like that will work. It's the Flower Petal Shawl on the Elann.com website. I started working on it tonight, and it is working up well. I am really liking the way this pattern is going, and the yarn is lovely to work with. Now I have something to switch with my socks.
