While I was knitting shawl 9 on size 3 needles, I was knitting this shawl at the same time on size 2 needles.
I added some more holes to the edging lace, just for fun on this one.

This is a heavier yarn. Almost a fingering weight, to the Misti Alpaca lace weight. This is a smaller shawl, but by no means a small shawl. Although the yarn is heavier weight, the smaller needles make for a more dense, silky (thanks to the cashmere) fabric.

Only a few inches shorter, but compare this back to the original knit and you'll see the density difference. |
In white, this reminds me of

Is it wrong of me to love this shot? |
To be honest, I have another of these on the needles in midnight blue that I'm beading. I have another just off the needles in an alpaca silk (which won't be offered, it was a yardage test-knit). I also have the handmaiden silk and wool currently on the needles, and another vine and leaf nearing the point where I can knit the border onto it. And I have one more that I know of blocking on the bed. So, I'm pretty close to 4 more to post here. Now that I have the results of the poll, I will be blogging the knits more aggressively. I wasn't sure I would be able to use the results of all of this knitting, so it didn't get blogged as closely as I would like.
Anyway, without more of my faffing on, here is Shawl 10, Hoarfrost.
