This is the Helms Deep Shawl, designed by JoAnne Mottola. I absolutely loved knitting with Malabrigo worsted and Lettuce may be my favorite color. I enjoyed knitting this so much that I adapted it to make a scarf out of it. And of course I had to dig out the Malabrigo Silky Merino in Natural again. I have blocked the stole but not the scarf. 
This is my second Forest Canopy and I made it as a wedding gift for my daughter. It's a good beginning lace project as it has only four repeats. It's knit out of Malabrigo Silky Merino, probably one of my top two or three favorite yarns. She has promised that I can borrow it to take it to my high school reunion in Estes Park next week.
Above left is a simple scarf, also knit out of Silky Merino, stolen from a shawl pattern, the Sunday Market Shawl, designed by Vanessa Carter. If I were to make it again, I'd make it a tad big wider. I gave it to my friend Carol, who has lung cancer and needs a light scarf to cover her mouth when she's around smoke or other unhealthy inhalents.
