I have picked the yarn (Austermann's Step in a lovely colorway) for my sockapalooza pal, still not sure about the pattern, but I am on the short list!
Got my pal for KTS, and I am having fun trying different teas for my swap pal. (Its ok. This is not a secret swap.)
And finished the Regia-Bamboo socks for my son (24/lost/CSI). Now I can knit more on my Brooke’s Column of Leaves lace. I am actually enjoying this lace project. I loved the bird nest scarf. I may become a lace knitter... When you "get" the pattern, and have nice needles- it flows!

The lace scarfs look beautiful. I still haven't tried knitting lace, but I'm very tempted :-)
Lace knitting is a bit like knitting socks- it gets under your skin I think. The comment about 'getting the pattern'is the key! Until you 'get it' grrrr......
That was busy. The fastest sock-knitter I know! Lace is so great. Rewarding! And good needles seems to be a good investment.
Take care!
Just be warned, lace is addictive. Seriously addictive. As I know to my cost (specifically my sore arms). I am looking forward to the arrival of my own lace Addis!
The socks for your son are great!
That bird nest scarf is amazing!
absolutely beautiful!
You are such an avid knitter and blogger - I have fallen far behind - wanted to tell you that I am coming to NY for work June 18-21 - will have June 19 to do a little bit of sightseeing (I've got recommendatons for the Point and Purl Soho) Any suggestions for me?
What do you mean "you may become" you already are! I mean you have the needles and everything.
I'd definately say you've been bitten by the lace bug! The leafy lace scarf is looking very yummy and I love the socks (and totally agree you need some mindless knitting for Lost, etc!) I love the idea of the swatch blanket - there were some fantastic looking swatches there btw. Even with your internet problems you're a real speedy blogger - great photos as usual!
Love the scarf and the socks are great!
I think you're well on the way to becoming a lace knitter already. You've been so busy lately - all your projects look lovely.
I agree i also think lace knitting is like sock knitting totally addictive. Trouble is I need more socks and another pair of hand woudl be good too !!
Your son's socks are great I still haven't finished DH pair , just in case he like them so much and wants MORE ;)
