Going Mystic

Well, the yarn won the race, I had the wrong start date, and who can resist one of Anna's KAL's? Someone with more willpower than I have. And so, I'm juggling Mystic Ice with the DaVinci shawl, and have a couple of pairs of socks tossed into the mix for good measure.

I'm finding knitting with tencel different from my usual assortment of wool blends. It took me my first 30 rows or so to become truly comfortable with it, but now it seems to be flowing. Now if only I could juggle the rest of my life so I could just play with my projects, and if someone would toss me a generous measure of self-discipline so I could leave the other distractions (computer games) alone .... perhaps we would see a Finished Object!

But both of these shawls are so pretty it's hard to choose ....

Oh, and somehow I've also added (or more correctly, am in the process of adding) more yarn to the stash ... it would never do to run short, and I understand that I am also improving the R factor for my house -- good multi-purpose insulation!
