The first one is a Cloud Illusions to replace one which I'd knitted in a similar colour and subsequently gave to my sister. The yarn (Posh Yarn Natasha) I used for this version popped up in a destash and I thought would be ideal to use for this, and it was. This is an easy pattern to knit although the knitting slows considerably as the lace rows get longer. It's worth it though, I think it's a very pretty pattern and this colour looks great with black, navy and royal blue (and probably other colours too). I'm a big fan of mustard yellow.
The second shawl is a Forest Canopy. My sister asked me to knit her a shawl which she could wear with a pale pink coat, so I had a rummage through my stash and she chose this (Skein Queen Wisp). This is the fourth shawl I've knitted from this pattern - it's very easy to follow. Since I don't have a pale pink coat myself I've photographed it with a black one.
