not a destashing project

my thought was to use up some stash while creating one of those mindless projects... the kind you can pick up a year later and know *exactly* where you are. the kind of project i could work on while watching tv. i did use up some of my handspun yarn, and made a bit of a dent in some of the limited stash of novelty yarn. in the end, though, i indulged in impulse buying of more novelty yarn resulting in stash enhancement rather than destashing. i like the shawl, though, and it brought some ooohs and ahhhs on its first outing. it is modeled on the shawl on the front cover of Handpaint Country, and i started it right
after the book came out..... dont want to remember how long ago that was!
