Each shawl in the collection was inspired by a star (Stella being Latin for 'star') and each features a different Tanis Fiber Arts fingering weight yarn base. Perfect yarn, lacey shawls, Latin, and astronomy? This is so up my alley.
Now on to the prettiness...
Adhara - a lovely two-color, lacey, triangular shawl
And because I love wearing a shawl around my neck like a scarf, here's a shot of it worn that way, too:
Suncrest - cushy garter stitch goodness and pretty scallops
And just look how it scrunches. YUM.
Solaria - lots of texture, and lace, and oh! that color!
It can be worn as a capelet, too, which I love. (And don't you also love how Julie's styled it??)
Nashira - a gorgeous lightweight stole that would go with everything!
All of the patterns can be purchased individually (just click the linkies above) for C$6, or you can get the whole shebang for C$15.
OR, if you leave a comment here telling me which design is your favorite, you may just be the lucky person drawn to receive a free copy of the collection! You have until next Monday, July 30th at noon Pacific time -- I'll draw a winner and make the announcement that afternoon. So let's hear it! Which starry shawl would you make first?

They are all so lovely, but I have to say Solaria is my favorite. I love the color!
So hard to choose but I'd start with Adhara. I'd love to knit it for the Fall.
LOVE Suncrest! I am a garter stitch addict, so it is perfect for me.
Ooh they're all gorgeous, but think it would have to be Adhara.
They are all lovely...so hard to have a favorite, I'd love to start with Suncrest.
I really like the shape of the Suncrest and it would work with so many colours.
I really like the Suncrest, I'm a huge fan of scallops!
I love the Suncrest shawl! Everything about it makes me want to cast on as soon as I can!

I love Soalria the most, such a pretty cowl!
I simply adore Nashira!
I'd make Nashira first!
I think I'd knit Nashira first…they're all so great, though, it's hard to decide!
I think Suncrest might be my favorite, but I really like them all!
I'd have to go with Adhara! It looks like it would be nice to knit, with that big , leafy edge and the two colours. But I do love Suncrest as well!
Suncrest is my favorite, although they are all lovely
I think I would start with Nashira!
I'd knit up Solaria first, because if I got it done fast enough, I could wear tank tops to work in this heat and put it over as a capelet when I get to the building for instant work-appropriate sleeves.
I would knit Adhara first.
I would be all over the Adhara
The Suncrest is amazing. They're all amazing!
Adhara is just perfect, I want it for my fall scarf!
Suncrest is just beautiful!
Love the Nashira!
Love Solaria as a cowl and capelet!
I am in love with Adhara. I would so knit this in the bluish colors and wear this elegant and so fashionable shawl around my neck.
I will probably knit them all - love Tanis yarn and these patterns. Will start with Adhara, trying to decide what color scheme to do. Thanks for offering the pattern give away, and hoping to win.
I like Suncrest best, because I'm on a crescent kick lately, but I think Adhara would be really interesting to knit.
I love Solaria! It's in my queue.
I am absolutely in love with Adhara! It is exquisite!!
I would make any one of these to be honest, but if I have to pick right now it would be Suncrest. So, so pretty!
For me, it would be Adhara, definitely. There's just something lovely about two matching colors...
Suncrest is my favorite!
Beautiful collection - I can't decide between Suncrest and Solaria!
It is Adhara. So gorgeous !
I love the suncrest shawl!
Nashira, I love the way it looks as a scarf
Nashira is the first one on my list - and as soon as I get some TFA yarn, I'm starting!
Suncrest is my favorite!
Oooh! Pick me! I want to knit Nashira for my sis in law! I've been looking for a lightweight stole in gray and that is PERFECT! Just gorgeous!
Love Solaria, but Suncrest is not far behind.
Love, love, love! I would definitely knit them ALL but first up would be Nashira.
Oh my goodness, thank you for pointing out this lovely collection! I love Adhara, although the Nashira stole is a very close second, and they're all beautiful :)
These are all beautifully done in such lovely colors that it is hard to choose. The first one I would knit would be Adhara. Then I would have to knit all the others!
Nashira is my favorite. Thanks!
I love the suncrest! Amazing collection!
Adhara is splendid. That lovely edging, the cleverness of the grey and blue color usage in that lovely pattern. That is oh so clever!

I love them all, but would start with Adhara. So, so pretty. It's as though it was designed with me in mind! ;-> Thanks very much!
I'd start with Adhara. They're all beautiful, though!
I would knit them all, especially in those beautiful yarn colorways but I would start with Solaria. I'm a cowl-girl :-)
You're awefully mean to make me choose just one...but I guess if I must I'd say Nashira. Oh my goodness.
So very tricky to choose! I'm going to have to say Solaria. Likely because I'm a sucker for yellow, what can I say?
I love Solaria - Very hard to choose tho'! Tammy (charliesmomma on ravelry!)
I love the Nashira shawl for myself, but I would probably end up making the Solaria first as a gift for someone special...
So beautiful, all of them. My first knit would be Nashira. I'm in that kind of mood
I would have to say Solaria is my favorite. I love the lace!

I love Adhara!
i think solaria is my favourite, but i could really see myself knitting any of these patterns happily. sooo pretty.
I like them all, but probably Adhara is my favorite - and then I'd get the fun of choosing two colors instead of just one!
My favorite of the collection is Adhara with Nishira a close second. I love the lattice texture of Adhara!
I love the entire collection, but Suncrest is definitely my favorite!
I love Adhara- it's definitely my favorite. Thanks so much for such an awesome give-away!
I love Suncrest!
Suncrest is so cute!!!
They are all beautiful and would be amazing to knit, but I think I'd want to try Suncrest first.
I'd start with Nashira - it looks super functional as well as gorgeous, and I don't have anything like that right now.
I'd start with Nashira as well! It looks absolutely gorgeous!

I'd like to knit Adhara first.
Those patterns are really gorgeous!
At first I thought Adhara was my favorite, but now I'm certain I've been seduced by Nashira. I find pretty scarves are nealy irresistable.
All the patterns are beautiful but I would knit Nashira first!
I love, love, love the entire collection, but I already bought Tanis Fiber Arts yarns for an Adhara and a Suncrest, so they'll have to be first on my needles!
Hard to pick a fave, but I think it is Suncrest!
I love them all, but I think I would start would start with Suncrest - so pretty!
It would be a close tie between Nashira and Suncrest for me, but they're all beautiful!
Boy, oh boy, hard to choose, but I think Solaria is my favorite.
Nashira is my favorite because I'm currently in love with rectangles. I can see this stole worn as a, well, stole - and also wrapped around the shoulders, crossed and then gently tied at the waist. It's just beautiful!
Lovely giveaway! I really like the look of Suncrest! So pretty.
How beautiful ! Suncrest is my favorite and the color is so perfect.
Adhara, hands down, for me!
I think I will have to line them up and eenie-meenie-miney-mo them to figure out where to start.
I'd have to knit Adhara first. I love the border! I'm actually really new to lace knitting AND shawl knitting, so I'd love to test my skills working on these. I'm knitting a candle flame shawl right now for my grandmommy, and these patterns would knit up into great gifts for other family members (although I'd have to keep Adhara for myself)
I would totally start with Suncrest (I'm obsessed with garter stitch lately, and the construction looks like a lot of fun), but these are all lovely. What a gorgeous pattern and yarn collection!
They're all beautiful! Hard to chose but I would start with Suncrest, then Adhara.
I adore Solari. It's a pure ray of sunshine. :-)
Suncrest is my favorite. I love the scallops.
How does anyone pick one? They're all gorgeous!
I love the Nashira !
Solaria might be my fav.
I would go with Nashira first, althugh they're all beautiful!
I think I like Adhara to knit first. They're all so pretty though!
I LOVE Adhara!

They are all so lovely, but I am definitely drawn to Adhara.

I've been doing a lot of garter stitch lately because I don't have to look at it so I like suncrest
So lovely! Thank you for the chance!
I think my favorite is Suncrest, but I think I would be most likely to make is Solaria. They are all quite beautiful.

Where to start?? As a recent newbie to the land of shawls, I'd go with Adhara. The challenge of the 2 colours... but which 2 colours?? That's a whole lot of thinking!!!
I would start with Adhara. Great giveaway!
They certainly are all pretty, but I would have to start with Suncrest.

Solaria! Beautiful.
I'd start with Suncrest, love that scalloped edge.
Simply scrumptious! I lean more toward SOLARIA
