Finished Object Friday: Poetry Shawl

This week, let's get in the Wayback Machine and visit another project from my Cookie A Sock Club days. We got this lovely burgundy/plum yarn with cashmere in it, and it was so soft and luscious that I decided it needed to be around my neck instead of on my feet. So rather than one of the sock patterns that came with the yarn, I knit a shawlette instead.
It is actually a rather small shawl, more like a kerchief.

Here's a closeup of the details. It was a lot of fun to knit, but I haven't worn it that much.

That same month in the club, we also got the recipe for these cookies. I can't remember what they were called, but they had a layer of bourbon caramel and a layer of creamy frosting sandwiched between deep, dark chocolate cookies!
I think I need to track down that recipe and make them again!!!

Oooh, your shawl is just lovely! The colour is beautiful, it definitely would have been wasted on socks!
Those cookies sound and look good, yum.

Those cookies look fantastic! It might be time for my cookie break...

Love your shawl as well, a gorgeous deep purple that should go with almost anything.
