My LYS started another KAL last week: Colchicaceae (Rav link). I was only able to go for a short time but I did manage to select yarn and say hi to a few folks. And then I was able to cast on while I waited to pick up Emma from school.
I'm using Sublime Baby Cashmere Merino Silk DK. This is pricier yarn than I usually use but my mom had given me a gift certificate to the store and that helped. I may not want to go back my usual choices now. This yarn is so soft! This pretty turquoise color helps me remember that spring will be here someday.
(The real color is actually just a little lighter than the color in the photo.)
What do you plan to knit for spring?
This design is quite interesting.Is it slightly curved?

I've seen people knitting that on Ravelry and I've been admiring it. Yours will be beautiful.

Oooh, that's going to be beautiful! I like lace knitting with non-laceweight yarn, I think it stands out so well.

i think you made a great choice-for the spring i hope to have lots of scarfs and shawlettes.

the yarn is so pretty - and I know you're going to love wearing it! I'm not sure what I'm going to knit for spring - my queue is still full of wool sweaters, mitts and berets. (remember it snowed on march 1 last year - I'm going to be prepared this year!)

So pretty! I can't wait to see the final result.

Oh that is going to be so incredibly gorgeous! I keep admiring those shawls by Susanna IC but haven't chosen one to try yet. Let us know how you like the pattern!
For spring, I am thinking of the Beltane Tee from last year's Knitscene, if I can get the pink skirt done first.

The color you chose is so pretty! I want to knit Leisel (sp?) by Ysolda in a spring green color. Spring is coming?
