It’s a lovely day for casting on a new project. Today I started knitting a capelet for my granddaughter. Last May she asked me to make her a shawl. I chose this pattern

instead of a shawl, in the theory that the button will help keep on her shoulders while she rushes about her business. She specified that it be white – a bit of a surprise, but then, maybe her favorite princesses and fairies wear white capes. She also handed me a button, obviously found and scrupulously saved for just this moment.
The yarn was purchased at my number one favorite yarn store, North Wind Book and Fiber Store in Spooner, WI.
It is a light dk. Incredibly soft, it is made from 80% Merino Superwash wool and 20% bamboo. I was keen to see how well it performs.
There are four sections of lace in the body of the cape, so I don’t think this project will work for travel knitting. For our up-coming trip, I will continue working on the improvised shawl project that I carried while cruising through Canada in early July.

The caplet looks great. The button will set it off nicely.

That button will give a lovely pop of colour against the white

That is really very princess-like and it will be lovely when you finish! I am eager to hear how you like the Sueño as well!
