I've finished the Sweet Pea Shawl from the Stitch N Bitch Happy Hooker book. The yarn is Olympic from Artful Yarns, a blend of viscose, cotton, and acrylic. The strands of the ply are a blend of natural colored cotton and shiny bits of blue, pink, and gold. The yarn is surprisingly light - perfect for a summer shawl.
The tank is the Designer Wannabe Tank Top, also from Happy Hooker. I changed the pattern quite a bit, using one color instead of three. I had to lengthen it by 4 rows and I probably should have done a couple more. Why can I get the gauge right for width but not height? The yarn is the delightful Callista from elann.com, a blend of viscose, cotton, and linen. I'm really liking these viscose + cotton blends. I just need to add some picot stitches to the hem and neckline to finish it.
