Indulgent distraction

So, I’ve spent a couple days of knitting time messing with the Colinette.

Circular start is annoying. I’ve done it twice now. I say “twice”, but really, it’s more like 2 dozen times, but only for two projects, the red shawl, and now this one.

The colors are interesting. It’s brownish, blackish, lavender-y, and kind of a champagne color. I’m planning on making this a multi-colored shawl, but I don’t know what other yarns I’ll use yet. Kat Coyle’s multi-colored lace shawls have always been inspiring to me, and I’m finally going to try it.

BUT, I said I was only going to test the yarn out, and now I need to get started on the Shetland Triangle.

Before I go, I wanted to show you the gorgeous yarn and pattern that arrived from Carol’s sock club a couple weeks ago.

I’m a sucker for red anything, and the color is called “Thirst”, which I think is perfect!
