I cast on my Elowen shawl last night. This requires following the pattern and a lot of attention. I am about 16 rows in and I think I have the main section memorized so I think it will go a bit faster.
I also discovered Pipers Journey by Paula from the Knitting Pipeline. I am using great restraint here to not cast this on, as I think it won't require much attention and I can also multi task with this project. Speaking of Knitting Pipeline, how many of you listen to Knitting Podcasts? I have a bunch that I listen to. I will devote an entire post to that one day.
It also occurred to me that my niece's birthday is in 3 weeks and I promised her a new blanket to go with her new room. Time to warp the loom...

Those two shawls are gorgeous. Can't wait to see what you chose for Elowen.
I've never gotten into podcasts of any kind but I'm not sure why. I know just what you mean about ribbed socks vs. stockinette socks.
(Oops. I accidently deleted my first comment.)
I plan to cast on a plain pair of socks to take on my retreat later this month. I'm also working on a patterned pair.
Your shawl choices are both lovely. I might have to add them to my queue.
I watch a lot of podcasts while knitting and spinning. There's a list on the left side of my blog if you want to check them out. There's also an audio list.
