This is the start of a cotton shawl I started a couple of months ago. I work on it when I have no project that I need to finish or just for a change of pace. The pattern is an 8 stitch plus 1 repeat, so it's very easy for me to remember and not have to refer to a pattern sheet to figure out where I'm at. The Yarn is Bernat mercerized cotton yarn. Very soft and shiny. It came in a box of stuff that came with one of my knitting machines. It's probably discontinued, but I have lots of it, so no worries about running out in the middle and then having to re knit it into something smaller. I may even have enough left over to make a simple lace shell for my skinny sister with the big boobs. LOL
