This is the third shawl I've knit from this book. The knitting was actually finished before I started the Miralda shawl, but I just sealed it up in a ziplock and put it aside rather than face the blocking wires. (I'll save my breath and not whine about that again.) And I've even had this post drafted since late April but kept going to the next thing rather than finalize.

I loved the bright, deep, clear RED of the Lacey Lamb so much when knitting my first one that I bought another identical ball. Now with leftovers from both balls, I think I can eek out one more!

Blogless FloridaMo was my inspiration for first choosing RED. I would never have made the leap without seeing hers. But I am oh so glad I did.
