I have been bit with the selfish knitting bug...hard. I cast on a shawl for myself out of the beautiful alpaca yarn that my parents bought for me:
It will be loverly when its done. I like to have something cuddly soft to snuggle in when I'm here in the cold old house that is ours.
I'm also planning on making eyelet from the summer '03 edition of Knitty.
I am going to make some adjustments. I'm going to make it a bit bigger, to accomidate my larger-ness, and I'm going to take off about 6" of the lace at the bottom. I only want maybe 1-2 inches of the lace. Its going to be either bright bright yellow or bright bright orange, depending on what yarn is available to me, and how much it costs. It will function as a bathing suit cover up in Hawaii...so I have to get cracking. We're leaving for fun in the sun one week from Monday. I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
White sandy beaches here I come.
My brother and I are even going to take surfing lessons!
That's all I've got for now.
Until next time, knitters!

oooh, using eyelet as a bathing suit cover-up is a cool idea! of course, i'd highly recommend the orange.
i'm so excited for your hawaii trip! i hope you post some pics when you get back.
Thank you thank you!!! Of COURSE I'm going to post pictures!! They'll be up around January 1st or so.
I'm going with the bright yellow, because the orange was all gone. My bathing suit is orange and yellow, though!
