A Chainmaille Shawl for Spring

I broke out the Blue Heron metallic again—my last post contained the pattern. Colorway: Shell.
It's coming along, although the yarn ball keeps tangling up and it's still quite massive... which only means I have eons of knitting to do. With a deadline of April 20... we'll see how it goes.
Shhh, it's a gift...so keep it to yourself.

All the dratted detangling caused a need for a diversion knit, so this morning I cobbled together a new hat with Cento multicolored yarn from Lana Grossa. It's the usual—2x2 rib for a couple inches, then just knit using snug to the head shaping. It creates a nice bowl, no poofy condom top for this beanie. 
Confession: Ok, you dragged it out of me...it's a replacement hat for the one I lost months ago. Who knows where... but those who've read my previous posts, you're probably starting to realize: I lose things. I do... I always have. I am trying to curb that tendency with a new mandate: Stop, look around, gather your things, don't rush, give yourself time... a little pranayama.. breathe... 
I'm hoping it's one of those life-changing things that allows me to hang onto my items for longer than a week. But things are just things, right? Pfff, enough Buddhism.

• I finally did locate my leather and bead bracelet...sigh...on my neighbour's wrist. 
• The iphone has been replaced (yay) but, sadly, not found. No such luck—though a silver lining exists: I now have the 3GS for "speeeeed" and, I discovered that my old one had a defunct battery. No, it's not supposed to decharge while plugged in even if using it. Good luck, thief, with the defunct battery.
• Ballet legwarmers are wrapped up in a box ready to ship!

Maybe it's time for another session at the movie theatre? It's kinda cloudy here in SF... be careful of mice, and mind your things in the theatre.
