How about a show of hands as to who thought I would actually stay monogamous to Kauni until she was complete? 
Should be no-one, especially if you’ve been reading around here for any length of time 
  As Harriet put it yesterday, project monogamy is for wussies.  It should come as no surprise that I cast on for something else last night.  Using this:
Two forms of crack
That’s a skein of Rowan Kidsilk Haze that has been in stash for a bit.¬† Not sure how long and what I was going to do with it, but there it is.¬† I dug in the bead stash and turned up this tube that I think goes divinely with that yarn.
I started one project, Ice Queen, from Knitty.¬† Even went for the modified beaded picot cast on instead of provisional (blah blah) that I saw discussed on Ravelry.¬† Except I realized, KSH is a bit itchy near my face.¬† A cowl of that stuff just wasn’t going to work.¬† But I had gotten hooked on the idea of using these two forms of crack together.¬† I let the power of the interweb and ravelry work for me.¬† I turned up this pattern, the Angel Pearls Beaded Scarf from Sivia Harding.¬† I love her patterns.¬† How could you not?
Crack in use
Kauni is still my commuting knitting though along with a pair of plain socks for those stolen moments.

Ah! That’s what it is. I’ve been smelling those crack fumes all day! It’s going to be great!

Well, I’ll just be quiet because I really am GOOD at the project monogamy thing ….

I think I’m in love with that scarf pattern. Do not be surprised if it ends up in my queue. I currently have 4 projects in the works.
I can’t wear mohair anywhere
let alone on my face and neck. I wish I could, that yarn is gorgeous.
I think there’s an Ice Queen in my future too.

“Project mongamy is for wussies…”
Totally made me laugh. I’m going to go cast on for a few more things
