Ugh

Posted by Picasa
I had a great time knitting this (a Clapotis shawl made with hand dyed silk yarn), but I totally ran out of yarn before I could finish it off and now it looks stupid. I'm currently working up the gumption to rip it all back to about the first 12 inches or so and then re-make it a bit narrower - and then hoping for the best...

Pretty colors! Would it be possible to make it into a poncho-type thing instead of ripping it out? I'm all for "the process" but ripping out so much work is not going to be fun :(

These are  Crazy For You socks.  They haven't told me yet exactly whom they are crazy for , but I'll let them ponder that for a while.  It appears I may have caught a bit of Knitting New England's Tangerine Tango  with all of these orangey colors!
