Starting 2 things at once

I did just that this week. Normally I start something new when I finish something else and finish the other languishing project but this week I went crazy and started 2 new things instead. I think I did it because I was going to use one yarn for the Pi Shawl but didn't like how it was working out so I frogged it and started the Shetland Triangle.

Shetland Triangle

This is a much better match for this shawl plus it has been one I have wanted to do FOREVER and just haven't.

I still wanted to knit the other one so I got out some other yarn and cast on again. This yarn is much better suited for this shawl.

Pi Shawl

It kind of looks like a badly shaped hat right now but it is in between sizes and won't fit on the longer needle yet so you get the folded up version of it. I go back and forth on them although the Pi has been getting more action as it is a new shape for me. I can really see people getting into round shawls as there is no purling if you are doing stockinette which makes for some fast "rest" rows.
