This is Colonnade by designer Steven West.
It was a quick knit! A take along companion for my hands on a 2 day car trip. The yarn is Brooks Farm Acero, the name of the colorway escapes me! It was purchased several years ago at Rhinebeck, found at the bottom of my stash. The fingering weight was not the thick yarn that the pattern called for, but the blend of wool, silk and viscose has a wonderful hand and makes a nice drape.
The columns...entablatures...
Doric... Ionic.... Corinthian...
I let my mind wander with musings of the great architecture of the past... to the elliptically curving colonnades of the Greeks and Romans...
to stoa (porch) and portico (gate)
After a quick bath and stretch out on the bed, it was time to select a button from the stash...
... a free form rosewood that I made over the summer.
Many thanks to Judy for loaning the size 10.5 circs I needed --just in the nick of time!

Beautiful, especially the button!
Very nice. I love the way it folds up to almost nothing. The button is the finishing touch.

Lovely! Love those colors and the button is perfect.
The perfect shoulder warmer when sitting at the wheel!
Beautiful colours and that button makes it very unique :)
I love Acero, I have a scarf from it (that desperately needs blocking)!
Cyn, that is one lovely little shawl..so delicate, so soft and what a perfect finish (of course!) the free-form button makes. Beautiful work, sis.
Oooo, gorgeous, Cyndy!
It is beautiful. I love the colors and the button.
Its really really beautiful, and like everyone else - I really love the button!!
That button! I'm drooling - tho of course, it adorns the wrap nicely.
What an interesting shape to the shawl and the button is just beautiful! :)

It's beautiful, wear it in good health...Ginny
It's beautiful and the Rosewood button is perfect.
Beautiful! I love Brooks Farm yarns and my main regret for not getting to go to SAFF was missing my yearly Brooks Farm stash enhancement!
So Beautiful!
Getting the computers set up is my excuse for missing this post. Great shawl, perfect color for you and the button is SO much fun. Enjoy wearing it. I can see it worn 'formally', you know placed perfectly around your shoulders but also thrown casually around as a scarf, shawlette.
