Shawl and Hat (Short and Sweet)

I have two projects to share today. First is my Mushishi Shawl, which I just finished this past weekend. The yarn, Mushishi, by Plymouth Yarns, was spun very loosely, which I think means that it will hold more air and make for a cozily warm shawl. It was also very pleasant to knit with.

This hat is one of several works-in-progress. I'm knitting it with a wonderful yarn, Winnifred's Washable, by Farmhouse Yarns. It is a hand-dyed merino / acrylic blend. The color is not as bright as this photo would lead you to think, but is instead very rich. This will be a luscious and comfy hat, I think.
