This bandana-style shawlette was knit with two colorways of Miss Babs Sojourn, a luxurious blend of cashmere and silk. The design features slip stitch patterns, some textured lace, eyelets, and stripes. The name of the pattern refers to the sheen seen on paved surfaces and flowers after a rainstorm. I used about half a skein of each of the two colors.

There are also photos here of a variation I knit with four colors of a different yarn - Manos del Uruguay Fino - a merino and silk blend. This time without the sheen and the name making less sense!
