I've started a KAL with an Australian friend. We're doing the Hanami shawl
by Melanie Gibbons.
http://pinklemontwist.blogspot.com/2007/02/hanami.html
We're using Knit Picks 100% Alpaca yarn - Alpaca Cloud in the pink
Peppermint flavour.
For a change I only have one outstanding UFO right now, and will be working
on it as well. I've finished up all the socks I had OTN, so it's time to
pick out another yarn for a new pair.
Happy New Year everyone

I'm also in awe that you don't have more than one UFO! That's a goal for
me. I want to knit up and sew up or toss or rip out every project I've got
going in my sewing room. I just get too much inspiration all at once and
the next thing I know I'm juggling a dozen or so projects. I've got to get
a handle on that! :-)
Keep us posted on that shawl. It's lovely!

It's not normal for me to have so few UFO's, but now that I do, I'm
going to try to keep it that way. I always have socks OTN, so those
don't count. They're for mindless knitting when at a knitters group
meeting.
I've had that shawl in mind for quite a while, and now that my friend
is ready to go on our little KAL, I think it will be fun. We won't talk
about how I frogged it 3 times right at the beginning, that the first
beads I used were too big and I had to find something else. It seems
to be finally humming along.
The other UFO is Sally Melville's Summer Sweater from The Knit
Stitch. I have the back done, and the front half done, but am making
it as a lightweight winter sweater out of Elann Lana Cash (merino,
silk and cashmere blend). It's a super simple knit in garter stitch. I
wish I was as tall and slim as the model wearing it, because it's not
going to look like that on me (laugh)

You'll have to let me know how you like the Hanami shawl. I've been
contemplating it, but I want to do Anne Hanson's Morning Glory shawl
first. I also want to knit the Peacock Feathers Shawl in much the
same color you used.
I've finished one project, the flower motif shawl from Evelyn Clark's
booklet, and started another, the Angel Lace Shawl, also by Evelyn
Clark. The first used Claudia's hand-painted fingering weight merino
in Tropicana and the second uses Knit Picks Gossamer in Caribbean.
I've got a bunch of WIPs that I need to get back to. It's just that
lace shawls are so much fun! Ravelry members can see my projects at:
