Last week I linked to the Flamingle Shawl and several of you bought Hella Hanks and Marvelous Mohair to make your own. I have to admit that this shawl is on the top of my to-knit list too, as I think it's a great way to combine two different yarns, and I think the mohair in it would really dress up my personal shawl rotation.

If you were intrigued by this too, here are a few color ideas that I like.
Cosmos w/ Securrrity or Don't Call Me Peaches (for more contrast)
Mermaid Tavern or speckly Endeavor w/ Navy Blazer
Zuni w/ Ice Ice Baby or Wink (for more contrast)
Sweet Magnolia w/ Glamping or On the Rocks or Cherry Merlot (for more contrast)
A holiday shawl with Stiletto and Christmas Sprinkles
The same color ideas would also work well for Sunshine State of Mind, also by Cally Monster, but a completely different shape and look. The pattern calls for Super Silky, but we don't carry that so I would instead use Hella Hanks because it has a bit of cashmere and has a really nice drape and texture.
