The Next Shawl

I am currently spinning the yarn for my next shawl project - that is a shawl worthy of competition. I am spinning two plies of colored cormo top from Karen and one ply of a 50/50 alpaca silk blend. I am currently planning to make the Feather and Fan Shawl from A Gathering of Lace. At least that is the plan right now. In between, many projects are being worked, including the Lace KAL from Ravelry. I finished a sweater for myself, and it turned out very well. I have enough yarn spun for another sweater, but I am still thinking about that. I have a few too many projects going right now, and life keeps taking time too. We did get DSL last week and I love it! I am even getting better about putting pictures up. It is still a chore for me, but not so bad now that they load in seconds instead of lots of minutes! More to follow as my yarn progresses. I am aiming at a 2012 completion for this next shawl.
