Project: "Cold Shoulders Capelet" as seen in Stitch 'n' Bitch, the Happy Hooker.
Yarn: Plymouth Yarns Brushed Alpaca [buy it here; they don't have this particular color.]

It took less than a day, hours-wise, I think, and it worked up beautifully. The only adjustment I made was to add three rows of single crochet along the bottom edge. I didn't put on the pom-poms that are shown in the book because my attempts at pom-poms came apart completely when I pulled them a little. I need to practice my pom-poms.

Pardon the giggle. I was watching "Family Guy".

I hightly recommend both the yarn and the project. The yarn used in the book was fuzzier, but I like the way you can see the openwork with this yarn.
