Plumstone, named for its pairing of purple and turquoise colors (with a bit of speckly pink thrown in), is a perfect project to bust your sock-yarn stash. Beginning with a tab cast on, it consists of three triangles that are worked from the top down. Slipped stitches, lace, and mosaic sections add variety and texture to the design. The eyelet edging is knit on perpendicularly to the shawl, after the body is completed.
