Look at the amazing yarn I got in the mail today! This picture really doesn't do justice to the richness of the colors, sadly so (my camera really sucks). Charles at Cool Buddha Tonic dyes his own yarns. He is quite multi-talented, as you can see yourself from his blog. He also included a handmade card, which I'm tempted to frame and hang in my new office.
I'm not quite sure what I will be knitting, but I'm sure it will be for me. The beautiful shades of lavender, lilac and purples in this yarn are just my favourite! There is a feeling of sweetness to it, and Charles, quite appropriately named it Sweetness Memories. I just love the names he comes up with for his yarns!

Have you checked out Knitting Pattern Central for lace projects? There are tons of them. :-)

Thanks Charles and Jason for your lace pattern suggestions. Are you guys trying to convert me to lace? LOL Honestly, the only lace I've done so far have been borders on sweaters, scarves, socks etc. I've never done an entire item in lace. The Princess Lace Wrap seems easy enough, and I also like the Caribbean Scarf from Jason's link. I might need a trip at the library or LYS to look at other basic patterns.
