I'm so excited about my February Cardigan. It's done!!! I've worn it everyday since Friday! After, some advice about care for the wool, Thanks Kate aka yarnchef:)! It really feels good. It was a bit itchy, so she suggested soaking it in hair conditioner. Why didnt I think of that..wool=hair, right! After soaking it, it's much softer & less itchy. After washing the wool really stretched out & fit much better & grew alot in length. Here's the link to the pattern by Pamela Wynne.. I found over at www.ravelry.com

I think I got in the groove of the gull lace pattern about 1/2 way through, so it wasnt as painstaking as I thought it may end of being. I'm hoping for better pictures when I can take some outside.
I'm also excited to start the Amelia sweater by Laura Chau. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/amelia-8
I'm hoping to buy a merino wool from Kate over at http://www.etsy.com/shop/yarnchef. I love the dandelion in the cafe au lait section.
Looking at my knit/work basket, I'm sad that there's no real project happening right now. Jack's pullover is staring me down...screaming FIX ME!! So I think I will work on that & make a few simple projects...slippers(thanks lana for the inspiration & a few cowls..you can never have too many in Ohio) before I start the "amelia."cts
