On the Needles

I have started another shawl, with Knitty once again supplying the pattern:

This is another project which uses Manos del Uruguay wool. This time I'm using their Wool Classica which is a 100% pure Merino. The colours I'm using are  Loden; knitted up in the photo:

It's knitting up really fast and I'd like to have it finished and posted before we move on April 16th - which shouldn't be a problem... I hope!

I've been chugging along nicely with the Minicaraibi red shawl.... but .... DISASTER has struck! Before Geri and I went to Uluru for her Starlight trip I went and bought the rest of the yarn I needed. While we were away I finished my original ball but didn't start the next one. This week I went to start the next one and it's the wrong colour... completely a different shade... not just a different die batch. How the heck did that happen??? GARG!
So, this is a bit of a problem. I have a horrible feeling that I'm not going to be able to get any more of the right colour so I am trying to decide what to do... All I know is that I can't bear to unravel what I've done so far, so I've put it a holder until I come up with an acceptable solution.
