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.

I think you chose very well for both shawls. The pale blue laceweight looks fantastic in the Shetland Triangle Shawl and the other really shows off the color for the Pi Shawl. Beautiful! I know what you mean about starting two things at once...although with me, it's 3 things at once! AHHH!

Cayli! Its been so long since I've stopped by your blog and I'm sorry. Your blue shawl is off to a beautiful start! It looks like you found the perfect match with the pattern and the yarn. I love the color! Same with your Pi shawl, beautiful sunset colors.
