New Day, New Design

I was having trouble getting starting on a new project of any size and decided that the raspberry shawl was still bugging me.  So I did a few more swatches and I think I've come up with some good border bits, though I'm still thinking on it.  But while I was doing that, I found two patterns that could combine to make what I thought would be a really lovely border.  So now I'm working frantically on this brand new thing and the raspberry shawl is languishing again.
