Saturday March 19 - Pick a Shawl

Well, I've been trying really hard to decide what pattern I was going to use to make the baby blanket for a friend of mine from a fabulous yarn I just received from a friend.  I don't normally do lacy baby blankets because I hate the idea of their fingers getting stuck in the blanket.

However, the colours are perfect for this woman. SO, I think I've decided to use this yarn to make a lacy shawl for her and find something else for a baby blanket. Now I'm just stuck between 2 patterns I've found which I like. 1 is a crochet and 1 is a knit with a little more detail.   I've never tried making a knitted shawl and am a little nervous about it, but I tend to take on the patterns I'm not used to just to prove I can do it.

Anyone have any suggestions?  So far I've been looking at Haruni or Evas Shawl.  I'd like to decide soon so I can get it done and in the post.  I know I know, I'm not supposed to be starting any more projects but it's for a gift!  hehehe (yarnaholics logic always wins)
