I remembered! And though the model was busy, I do have a couple of photographs of the finished shawl. With a person will hopefully come soon!
But here is Moana:
Little sister to Arcobaleno ... can you see the family resemblance???

Oops!
Well, I fully intended to return with a picture of the finished Supersymmetry ... and here it is July!
I have yet to get a modelled shot but I did fold it so that the stripes are on the inside:
Not quite sure what I will do with it -- but it's another skein of stash yarn that has been converted into a Finished Object!
I moved on to another shawl by the same designer. The shawl is called Rocky Mountaineer and I couldn't resist it since last fall I travelled on the Rocky Mountaineer train through the Canadian Rockies. I chose my yarn with great care, and wound up with a reminder of the glacial lakes as well as my travels through the mountains.
A friend very obligingly modelled it for me:
It seems to me that this is the perfect shawl for those places that are over airconditioned.
Tonight I finished a test knit for Tanja Luescher (Knitted in Switzerland Designs) and then wrestled with it to get it blocked. Tomorrow I'll unpin it and see how well I've done. It was an interesting knit. I'd done a previous test knit for Tanja which used a skein and not quite a half of a second skein of laceweight yarn. This shawl used a combination of fingering weight and laceweight - and provided the perfect opportunity to use up that part skein.
The other test knit was Arcobaleno:
A modelled shot can be found here. Thanks, Shauna!
This is the shawl that provided the leftover laceweight shawl. We'll see how long it takes me to come back here and post a picture! But for now, good night!
