Nothing exciting to report. I've started Luna in blue, still working through the top part. I'm not even sure I want this shawl in blue. I started it in blue before I received my latest Elann order, now I'm eyeing some of that red Ruby HW for the shawl. We'll see...

Looks good so far! I like your idea about making it in the Ruby color.
Do you think that pattern would take to Caron Simply Soft? I have a few skeins of it in Autumn Red, a color I really like, just don't want to go through a lot of effort if the pattern only looks good after it is blocked.
What is the blue material you are using? If it's a cotton/blend you could do one in both colours:-)
One for spring/summer and one for fall/winter!

Simply Soft is 100% acrylic (If I remember correctly) and I don't think Acrylics block well? Lace shawls are designed for a GOOD blocking..... which usually mean a more natural fibre is needed. You could try though. It might look fine without blocking and you should be able to tell after the first repeat or so.
looks good Marie Someday I will try it!
