cast on!

finally cast on my qiviut! i decided on the travelling woman shawl as it needs the right amount of yardage and is pretty too. i'm thinking of making the stockinette section smaller and doing an extra repeat of the lace section - am i crazy or is that a good idea? i'm thinking the yarn will go farter as lace than it will as stockinette. but, i don't want to mess up. hmmm...
