Spin A Yarn for Ewe

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.

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.

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.

Last week was a busy one as I decided to knit up some dishcloths for my Mom for Mother's Day. She had said she really liked the ones she had gotten as a gift from a knitting friend so I tucked that info away until I needed it. So in between making those and working on the lace I actually got the lace done. I got all the cloths done too but I forgot to photo them but you know the ones worked on the diagonal.

Here is the lace.

This one is of it blocking where it is easier to see the whole thing or at least most of it.

I also took some outside photos but I didn't get any smiley ones so you get these.

I really love how it came out as the yarn seemed to stripe perfectly for the pattern.

The yarn as usual is great to work with and working it on size 7 needles sure was a fun change. My next lace is going to be on size 4's so it will be a little more slow going.

I had to show you how it is looking.

I really like it!
