<p>Sometimes you&#8217;ve just got to be a bit silly.  It&#8217;s been an interesting couple of weeks, full of stress and laughter.  I love my friends for always being able to help me out a funk.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m usually not one for overly feminine things, but I just couldn&#8217;t get this pattern out of my head.  I&#8217;m glad I gave this pattern another go.  All I had to do was let go of the disappointment of the last one.  You can read the quantitative details on the Ravelry page for &#8216;<a href="http://ravel.me/SheepGeek/bao9a">let go of your yesterday</a>&#8216;.  The yarn is amazingly soft; especially after I used my washer&#8217;s rinse cycle to get out the excess water, the stitches puffed up, and the cashmere really started to show itself.  I love what blocking does to shawls, you finally get to see what the designer intended.</p>
<p>Now I need to sew up a pale aqua dress to go with it, and maybe find a bright coral colored belt.  Oo!  Or a medium heather grey dress with an apple green belt. Hmm. Choices.</p>
