Cast on all the things!

I finished two pairs of socks at the weekend and appear to have gone mad casting on stuff. Yesterday I cast on both a shawl and a hat.

This is going to be a big one, another of my favourite three-triangle shawls, using Wollmeise Lace in Patina in a Nobody is Perfect skein. The colour is very very streaky (hence the NiP designation). Green isn't usually my shade but when I saw this skein in the shop last summer I thought it was beautiful. I had the idea for the pattern a few weeks ago. It's various leaf lace patterns together and the charts have been drawn out and lined up with one another for a little while, waiting for me to get around to casting on.

No sooner had I got the shawl underway that I felt I had to cast on a hat as well. I've had two balls of Valley Northfield sitting in my stash, leftovers from a jumper I made myself at the beginning of this year, and no idea what to do with them until suddenly at the end of last week they told me (as yarn does sometimes!) that they had to become a man's hat. This will probably be for my father in law, but I might give my husband first refusal on it.

My third current project is, so far, these three partial balls of sock yarn and a very colourful chart. So far I have resisted the urge to cast this one on as well but I suspect it won't be long!

There's also going to be a fourth one using this...

...but honestly three WIPs at a time is enough for me. Watch this space!
