6 of 12: Gala Shawl

I've had this yarn for several years, but had been waiting for just the right pattern.  It reminds me of a bright autumn day, where the leaves have changed and the sun is just right.  When I saw the Gala Shawl by Cheri McEwen, I knew that the leaf motif would work beautifully.

Halfway through the 12 in 2012 challenge!

 

I love the wavy "stems" between the leaves.
