I happened across this pattern of theMountain Peaks Shawl and I just want to buy it and start right away. What’s worse is that I do have enough yarn to start on this today if I like. But I *MUSN’t*.
What happened to my resolve of doing one project at a time? Out the window apparently. But this doesn’t mean I can start whatever I like. I must be strong.
I think this is more of a knit along fever then a new shawl type of fever. I also discovered a Frost Flowers and Leaves Knit Along and I desperately want to make this shawl. I just don’t have the yarn or the means to get the yarn for awhile. It calls for over 3,000 yards so I plan on buying a cone of Jaggerspun Zephyr. That will put a big dent in my wallet.
On another note, I realized that I started picking up stitches too soon on my SLS edging. So off to the frog pound I go. I only picked up about 120 sts. Not a problem. Really. *bleurk!* Which is why I’m sitting here mooning over other shawls instead…

Would you consider using Tencel for the Frost Flowers & Leaves? I recall buying a cone, but I haven’t started anything with it yet. I think 1/2 lb. of a 2/10 weight gave me 2100 yds…
