Shawls new and old

So, I've picked out the yarn for my Color Affection shawl. I'm going with Sundara Fingering Merino in Breaking Dawn, French Lavender, and Winter Solstice. (The Breaking Dawn and Winter Solstice didn't make it into the group photo, they were sitting neglected on my armchair during the photo shoot.) It'll be somewhat sweet, but I'm hoping the sophistication of Sundara's work will prevent it from lurching into twee-ville.



And in other, Sundara shawl news, I finally blocked the Haruni I made in Sundara Silk Lace that I cast off January 1, 2011. Yes, over a year ago.



It really is gorgeous. And the blocked fabric is so lovely and delicate.



I can't say that I can't believe it took me so long to block the shawl - procrastination may as well be my middle name. Hopefully next time I'll be a bit more on top of the whole blocking thing. Now if only I had somewhere to wear it.
