All over the place
I have a new set of wips.
2. My short lived romance with the triangle shaped Heartland Lace Shawl is over. Not that it isn't a beautiful shawl! It is. I'm using Berroco Ultra Alpaca Fine and I'm up to 215 atitches which is the number where you would normally start the border if you were using the yarn the pattern calls for - a somewhat heavier yarn.

3. The Side to Side Pullover. Only guilt will lead me to finish this dull piece of knitting, hopefully soon.
4. Norah Gaughan is putting up a pattern called Wedgette on her Ravelry group in honour of an anniversary. It might be in honour of the anniversary of the group, I can't remember, but you can read about it here. Always a sucker for the unkown, I immediately cast on with some earth coloured RYC Cashsoft DK from my stash and 4 mm needles. I seem to be getting the correct gauge for now. Here's how it looks for starters. The initial instructions have been posted on Ravelry and on Nora's blog.
