When last we spoke of lace, I was debating whether to use the red Lacy Lamb or the Cashmere & Silk, both products of Jade Sapphire, for the Poncho from ekebo designs - I decided on the Cashmere & Silk - it has the most amazing sheen with a slightly lavender undertone, and is a pleasure to knit with. The Addi lace needles are still amazing as well.
It's been a real adventure since its beginning - took me three or four attempts to really get it going with quite a bit of expert advice (thanks to a lace-knitting goddess in another city)... it's in the works, and totally addictive!

In the Breaking News department, Kauni has arrived in NYC! You can find it in all its rough-hewn and colorful glory at Knitty City. You can see really good shots of Ruth Sorensen's cardi at Melinda's blog.

Nitey nite, all.
