The past couple of days I've been working on my version of the "Sweet Pea Shawl" from Debbie Stoller's "The Happy Hooker". It's been designed by Amie Hirties, and, if I end up finishing it, should be absolutely gorgeous.
I've used a twist of three different colours of mercerised cotton, but it's up to you what you use really - it's quite an easy pattern to follow, perfect for those who've recently learned and want to get their teeth into something that's a challenge, but not a chore.

"The Happy Hooker" is available from Amazon. It's a brilliant book for all crochet skill levels, and isn't fusty or old-fashioned in any way, just good, no nonsense how to, and loads of lovely patterns.
