Last night I decided to start my Galadriel's Mirror over again. There were a couple of factors that led to my decision. I had made a couple of mistakes and I had also used a remnant from another gradient set in between my first and second skeins of this set. I knew that I was going to be very close on my yarn amount and had found a remnant that matched the first skein almost exactly except that it had a bit more of the almost white silver, which led to some pooling that was bugging me a bit. After I started using the remnant skein I realized that it would have been better to start with that skein so there wouldn't be an "alien" skein in the middle of my Silverlode set. I pulled the shawl off the needles and took a picture before I started to frog.
Then I frogged back skein 2, and put the rest of the shawl into a bag to catch the beads as I knit the new shawl from the old.
