I admit that I've had a bit of a fascination with Lion Brand Amazing yarn. It's a blend of 50-50 wool and acrylic, you can buy it at big box stores, and it comes in lovely long color repeats.
I used 4 balls to make up an Imagine Shawl. Although the pattern is written for fingering weight yarn and Amazing is worsted, I just knit most of 3 balls of the main colorway (Joshua Tree) and then added one ball of a contrasting colorway (Rainforest) to complete the slip stitch border.
This is an easy relaxing knit and the shawl is soft and fuzzy. It's too warm to use this shawl now, but I'm ready when the temperatures drop in the fall.

I'm going to have to research that pattern and send it to my sister. That looks like a useful size shawl for our cooler, damper months. :-)
