In the mean time, I decided to cast on for something new. The hoodie is all stocknit stitch from here on out, so I though I needed a project to spice things up every once in a while.
And what's spicier than lace-weight yarn and beads?
Last night I cast on for Aeolian with the Prism Delicato mom bought for me at Knit Camp. And I had just the perfect "peacocky" beads to go with it."But, wait..." you say. "Didn't you already cast on for Aeolian months ago?"
Yeah I did - and it got set aside for Christmas knitting. When I picked it up again, I realized I'd royally screwed one of the transition charts. I could have tinked back 8-10 rows - but I figured new year, fresh start - and I can use that yarn (Slinky Cat) for something else... it's not like it goes bad right?

Lace yarn and beads...such a huge investement of time! It will be gorgeous though.
New year = new beginning! Besides, isn't it extra efficient from an hourly cost of crafting point of view to knit yarn over and over again? Looks like it's going to be fabulous. I still can't get over how quickly you knit shawls!
It's good to not knit the same all the time.
Can you believe it, but I've got my 3rd shawl test knit since Dec. 31. I'm using WCY again. Great way to work down my stash, and the sooner I'll do that, the sooner I can buy more yarn! ;o)
Your new shawl looks lovely. I've clicked on it, to have a closer look.
Cant wait to see it finished! Do you by the way use life lines?
Tinking back lace is just not worth it. LOL
The color of the yarn and the beads are beautiful. Can't wait to see the finished shawl.
