Elegantly Simple Triangle Shawl KAL

Ok, this is the 3rd time I have tried to post this in the past few days. I am hoping that I can actually make it happen this time! I have surcome to the allure of a KAL. Margaret from Heritage Yarns just has a way with words or else I am just too easy to convince (or maybe both?). She has such lovely pictures of the shawl on her website and I thought it was just gorgous. I am going to dye some yarn from KnitPicks soon, I hope tomorrow???? with my daughter Natalie, the dyeing queen. I am shooting for some pink/purple/blues. The thing I did though was to "test" out the pattern with some yarn I just got off of eBay. The "test" is now on its second repeat of the B chart and doesn't look like it wants to stop anytime soon. I can at least hope that I can set the "test" down and start on the "real" shawl on May 1st. I gave away most of my yarn that was just sitting around the house, trying to reduce my stash and not take up so much space. What did I do? I acquired 2 lbs of sari yarn and 3 cones of mixed yarn off the ebay. Then there was the Knitpicks yarn and whatever I will spin up if I can ever get back to there. What was I thinking? It was fun though.

Natalie is still spinning away. She was finding it hard to find the time to spin so I scheculed some time for her. Now if I could make sure she practices her piano on the same day, I will be doing well. She loves piano, but like all kids, the allure of outdoors and tv is too strong and it is difficult to do creative stuff, but we are getting there.
