possibly a new stitch pattern for a forever shawl?

I have been spinning an alpaca silk blend on one of my smaller spindles.  The spindle is what I had on the mountain and when we got back, I have wool for a sweater I am planning on my spinning wheel.  That is the simple version, because the sweater may have multiple colors which means multiple bobbins and the little drop spindle is much more portable for wandering around the house of watching a video.  I will say not having Koda Bear's help right now with the spinning is quite nice. 

This fiber and yarn are so soft, I decided to try to make a forever shawl in shell pattern.  I am not sure about the pattern yet and I might take the next ball of yarn and start working a single stitch forever shawl pattern to see what I think.  I am also currently really liking grey and grey tones.  This silver would be very cool as a soft pull over to go over my sheath dresses that I made of superfine cashmere.  The single stitch will let me know if that is a possibility as well.

There are always too many ideas and not enough fiber to become yarn for the ideas.  I do not know if that is a blessing or a curse!
