yarn chosen, ready to swatch

Hi folks,

I have a cone of 2/14 alpaca/silk in burgundy that I almost used for the MS3, along with the raspberry colored beads I chose to go with it. I think it will be perfect for Hanami. There were a couple of other yarns in the stash that I completely forgot about. I'll have to remember to "shop" the stash more often! Anyway, I have about 4 rows left of MS3 that I hope to finish tonight, then I can swatch for needle size over the weekend. I also signed up for a KAL of the icelandic shawl Thordis. That one seems pretty straightforward, so I think (hope, anyway) I'll be able to keep up with them both.
