And as for the super thin yarn, it's not as bad as you think. I'm knitting with the 2ply merino lace yarn but it has been so finely spun that it is thinner than 1ply (or at least so says the website where I bought it). I had to learn a new method of casting on (knitting method rather than long tail) and I started it about 7 - 10 times (to begin with due to needle problems, then troubles unknitting when I made a booboo), but I've got it sorted now and it's going well. You really should jump in to your shawl, don't worry about the ADD :) Yep, those are the magic needles. And as for the super thin yarn, it’s not as bad as you think.

I am having as much ADD with knitting projects as I am with stitching, I doubt I will ever finish anything in my life time just leave behind a house full of partially started projects :P Can't wait to see this once it is all blocked it will be amazing I am sure. (Are those your new magic needles.. they lock like the sock needles I have...same colourful wood) Looks lovely Nic… and scarily hard all that super fine yarn.
