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.
