the sheer beauty of this shawl has decided the fact that i must learn to bead.
and spin lace.

I'll be starting with Decimal, but I have my eye on both Aeolian and Shipwreck.

Knitty definitely blew it out of the park this season! :D

Yeah, Aeolian is something I'm going to have to use for some handspun at some point. Time to spin more, perhaps.

FWIW, if you're having trouble spinning fine yarn, you should be able to get a pretty nice shawl out of fingering/dk weight. It'll just be bigger. And less delicate-looking.

Ooooh. Pretty!

Now I'm locked in the eternal struggle of "Stop at AC Moore on the way home," or "Order much cheaper yarn from Elann but have to wait for shipping." Oh the angst! ;-)

Merciful mother of crap! I *want* it!!

I've just cast on my first ever lace shawl, though, (the swallowtail), so I won't be starting another for a good while yet ...

ooh. that might have to be my bridal over skirt.

On an unrelated note

As a Xmas gift, a friend has knitted me a hat. With bunny ears. In a nice blueberry color, so as I happily skip and jump through the spring breeze, my floppy bunny ears with waft in the warm air.

I will post pictures, because I am sure it is made of awesome. I can't wait.
