First big lace project???

I was checking out the new patterns on Ravelry today and one caught my eye: The Wings of Horus. For those who know me, this will not come as a great shock :P Its a knit-a-long for a shawl but I won't know what the final product looks like until it is done. It didn't take long before I decided to go for it and sign up for this secret KAL. I have e-mailed my request to be part of it, hopefully I will receive a confirmation e-mail soon. It starts April 17th and comes in 6 parts.

I was going to hold out and wait till I went to the Needle Emporium before looking for yarn but Knit Picks has some cheap lace weight yarn (also where I got the yarn for my sweater) and since I will need 1500 yards of it ...I purchased it there (shadow lace yarn jewels heather 100% Merino). I requested that a signature be required for delivery so hopefully Canada Post will not leave it in front of my building like they did the last time *le sigh*

Been getting lots of knitting done. Today I completed mittens for future sister-in-law's muppet Olive. I just wanted a simple mitten pattern so I used a christmas ornament mitten pattern and upped the needle size to my largest double points bamboo needles. They turned out really well. Unfortunately the muppet and owner were not in town this weekend as I previously thought so they are currently being cared for by Beaker :) Hopefully I'll have pictures soon of Olive decked out in her cool scarf and mitts 

My hat/headband (Calorimetry) is finished, as is my scarf that I've had stashed under my bed for a couple months. 

I've started working on a lace and cable scarf for my mom. She liked the last one but now that she has a short scarf she wants to wear it like one of her long scarves. She has asked for another one in any pattern I want to try out. This is my first adventure into lace. It has a rocky start but I think it will look really nice when its done.
