ummer's KAL is this doily.I decided I'd try to knit this with the smallest thread I can find. I went to Lacis (again) and talked w/ Erin, the manager. She pointed out the Cordonnet #100 and I also got 0000 metal dpn needles (1.25mm). I figured these should work.
Wish me luck, y'all.
As for other projects, I'm still working on Filigree. It's a bit stalled because I'm trying to decide how to extend the size. I think I'll do a row of leaves (like the edging), and then do another row of flowers ala goldmohn, or just another ring of leaves.
I've also fallen in love with the alternate form of Peacock shawl (Fiddlesticks) that is done in a rectangular stole shape. It looks easy peasy to go from triangle to rectangle.
I'm presently trying to decide among:
1) black bamboo laceweight
2) blue green cashmere laceweight
3) vivid blue tencel
4) basil zephyr
decisions...decisions...
Oh, I need a cardigan or two. I'm working on a black cardi (boring stockinette) based loosely on cropped cardi from Knitty, except mine will not be cropped, nor will it be that low cut. I'm also trying to decide what to use for the adult EZ Feb sweater. I figured I've made 3 children one's, I should make one for me.

That's a lovely pattern -- and I can't wait to see how fine the yarn is!! Have fun!!
See if you can get Lacefreak to give you the stuff I gave her last year. It's probably #200 in a lovely gold color. I would really love to see someone use it for something!
Blue green!
Man those are some seriously small needles!
Love your choices of what to make and what to knit with. Makes it fun to check in and see what you decided on.
