Monday night I got out my new swift and yarn baller (such an improvement over balling by hand!) and wound up one skein of the blue and teal yarn. The colours look really neat in the ball :)
I’ve cast on the Deby Lake’s Calypso shawl, and so far I’m loving it. The actual cast-on process was exciting – involving drink stirs and some paper clips as those were the best I could find for a second needle (long tail cast on) and stitch markers at the bar I was in. I’m about halfway through the first section. A little worried that I won’t have enough yarn since I was slightly over gauge even on size 5′s instead of the recommended 6′s.
