My first finished project for the year was the Elisa shawl. I really wanted something a little elegant and basic but with a touch of lace and interest for work gatherings or dressier events.
This was a perfect fit for what I had in mind and I had some yarn in my stash that felt like it would have exactly the amount of drape that I wanted.
The lace was a bit annoying as I was constantly worried about being on the wrong side. I had a lot of trouble seeing the pattern on this one.
Of course the difficulty of the lace means that it's pretty much reversible.
