Helga went on a visit to the frog pond

[cb8531]

I've been working on the Helga shawl (Ravelry link: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/helga-2) with the recommended US 10.5 needles and 12-50g balls of Filatura Lanarota Pure Washable Merino (100% Superwash Wool) and I ran out of yarn at about row 100 of ~200.  I'd had my doubts about row 50, but since it was decreasing every other row, I had hopes.  Did a look for more of the same yarn, but nothing available online this morning, so I decided to rip it all out and either start over or pick another project. So, Helga took a 'bath' in the frog pond -- I now have 1.3 lb of black light worsted superwash which is now being started again as Helga.  (Since I'm still thinking of a warm shawl which will work for both home or the office, that is not too frilly/lacy.)
