Slow Going

I'll admit that my momentum on the Anniversary Mystery Shawl has slowed down considerably. I have received my yarn for Evenstar. I have beads coming in later this week for it. And I have the needles on hand. I can't even begin to say how much I want to practice the cast on for it. Since it's a circular shawl, it has an interesting cast on. I also have decided to do Renee's next mystery shawl. I have the yarn for it, but not the needles. I know I can get them in 2-3 days after I buy them though. I'll order them this weekend. That mystery doesn't start until June 11 though.

I think I slowed down when clue 3 was released. It's the same pattern as clue 2, so I'm bored. I did manage to get my goal of 6 rows last night though. At some point, I'll have to pick it up today to get my goal again. I only have 2 more pattern rows of beads and I'm free for awhile. Of course, the rows without beads are faster. Only, I don't have the desire to work on it right now. I'm getting bored though, and I don't want to do housework, so I'll probably pick it up as soon as I'm done with this post. How sad is that? lol

Here's a photo of clue 2 finished. I like how the beads are turning out. Since that zigzag pattern is repeated in clue 3, I'll do the beads there, too. This is only one of the three panels. My cable is only 32" long, so that's as much as I could show. From here on out, pictures are going to be interesting to get. The white lines there are my lifelines. I use white crochet thread to keep any color from my lifelines from bleeding into my projects. Though this lifeline is in danger of becoming pink as I know for sure my yarn is bleeding color. I see some washing and rinsing in my future. ;-)
