I started a new project! It is knitty.com lace knitting project which I have never done before. I tried purchasing yarn from knitpicks because I had heard the prices were very good. It was hard to choose from all the colors but I am happy with the quality of their yarn and it was like $4.00 a skein - cheap! It took me a while to get the hang of it but now I am on a roll. I was nervous at first because it was coming out wobbly (first picture) and then I reread the instructions and it says that the pattern opens up when you block it (steam iron it between towels) and I did and the second picture shows more of the pattern. It should look like this when I am done. I liked this project because it is so versitile. There are button holes alond the edge that you can use homemade button cufflinks in to wear it a whole bunch of different ways. Can't wait until it is done!
