Finally unpinned my Ishbel from the blocking towel last night and love it, though this morning when I tried to wear it, realized that it makes me look like some sort of weird pioneer woman/bandit. Will have to learn my lesson and convert any future lace shawl patterns into scarves. Oh well. I already sort of suspected that shawls were not going to become part of my wardrobe and it has been confirmed. Still, I really enjoyed learning how to build the shape of the triangle, and it was really fun.

The inspiration for the color comes from this Ishbel, although mine is a little more orangey. I just love this color as an accent, and it looks exactly like that cheese powder packet that comes with Kraft macaroni and cheese. mmm!
