The Oak Knot Hat is perfect. The pattern is so smartly written and it looks like a wardrobe staple. 
The Prairie Shawl is a gorgeous project out of lace or fingering yarn. We just received super soft and pretty lace yarn from Skacel fin royal that is 100% baby alpaca.
It is over 650 yards and the color palette is lovely. Not to mention all Skacel yarns are the "yarns of the month" so it is 15% off this month!
