Spring has sprung!

Check out this fabulous free pattern by Knitting Kninja on Popknits! The Day's Eye Hat

What I'm knitting:

The Bubble Pullover by Norah Gaughan - check out the other projects! (This sweater looks great on everyone!)

Using Joseph Galler Peruvian Tweed (Ravelry link)- I like it!

Lace! - I highly recommend the Shetland Tea Shawl from A Gathering of Lace - make sure to get the 2007 edition to avoid as many errors as possible.

Using Cascade Alpaca Lace - a good deal and a nice yarn.

On hold for now - Spanish Peacock Shawl - you can clearly see from the pictures which people lined up the chart and which did not (a spiral effect).

Thanks to Brooke for helping me!

Also recommended - the Ostrich Plumes pattern from the second Barbara Walker Treasury - check out the Treasury Project while you're at it!
