Well. I thought I was going to do the Queen of Hearts shawl for my Lace Shawl KAL and my Think Pink KAL. Then
KittnKnit discovered that
Needlecraft University was offering a Triangular Lace Shawl Class. This shawl can be knit in worsted weight yarn on 10.5 circular needles! I have two skeins of Caron's Rainbow Dreams Rosy Forecast (with LOTS of pink in it), and if I use it, I can use up some of my stash, which will help to satisfy my "yarn diet" criteria...as well as meeting the two KAL requirements (and I get the circular needles I've been wanting but couldn't justify!).
So who do you think bounced right up and said "Sure, Kitt, I'll take the class with you?" YUP. Me. Now I hope the Lace Shawl KAL won't hit me too hard for not working on the alpaca just yet. I think it's smarter that my
first lacework be done on somewhat larger yarn...

Sorry I should have included it - you might check out Knitting Warehouse as the colors there are more true (roses and forest greens). The class apparently works like a bulletin board. The lessons are posted and you can ask questions and get responses like a listserv so everyone else sees them, too. And if you're not there the "night" of the class - it's okay, it's available throughout the time period of the class! It sounds workable to me, so I hope I understand it correctly!
This sure sounds neat... I might have to sign on. I am really wanting to knit shawls these days. I'll have to watch your progress.
