I used the Eyelet Shawl pattern from Ravelry. I loved the pattern because it was easy enough for me to knit while carrying on a conversation or while watching a movie but the eyelet rows kept it interesting. 
The colors didn't come out very true with my camera. The actual green is somewhere between the two pictures. I love the yarn. It's Dolce Merino (50% fine merino & 50% micro fiber) in Daquiri Green. It's very soft.
Get well soon, Joanne!
