I've been looking through various pattern books at my LYS and came across this darling simple shell pattern:

You'll notice in the picture that the yarn used for the middle shell looks familiar. :) It's the same yarn I had used for my cropped cardi vest from my previous post.
I plan on knitting the sleeveless shell on the right with the seed stitch border at the bottom, neckline, and armholes.
I found this beautiful yarn at Michael's:

Which will go with my latest sewing creation:

I can't wait to get started on this knitting project. This will be my first attempt at a knitting project where I am not using the suggested yarns. I knitted a test swatch/gauge with this Patons yarn and it came out pretty close. BTW, if you see this yarn...touch it and give it a squeeze. It's sooo soft.
