Great colors! I finished my first and have started on the second. No pictures yet though since it is for my MIL and she regularly checks my flickr account.

Is it too late for me to play too?
I want to make a large out of this:

and use natural for the trim.

This yarn is gaia worsted will it be fine to go ahead and use the size 10 needles?

I want to cast on today or tomorrow and I might have a lot of questions as this will be my first big project. I have done hats and scarves with no problems.

Join on in! That will make a beautiful shawl.
ETA: I would still use size 10 needles.

So I have a question...

I am on the eyelet rows and on the part where it says to slip as if knitting, slip as if purling, and then knit them both together, do I knit in the front or the back?

I think it is like knitting through the back. I usually leave them on the right needle and slip the left needle into the front of them and knit.

Those look great, Jennifer!

I'm still working on mine. I've almost knitted back to the point where I had to frog, so by the end of today, I might actually be making progress on it. lol

i started my 3rd on friday -- this one is out of a semisolid cotton-linen yarn. my mom loved hers so much she asked me to make one for a friend of hers at work who is retiring lol

on the ssk: i was having a lot of difficulty with that and my LYS owner taught me a different way of doing it, though it probably looks a bit different... i slip a stitch, knit the next and then pull the slipped stitch over the knit stitch, decreasing them to 1 stitch.
