Please stop me!

I have the cast-on bug. It’s a bad one. I want sweaters, light, summery, frilly, lacey sweaters. Examples:
How simple & cute! Top & bottom left are from Delia’s, top on the right below from Alloy
The great thing about the sweater from Alloy is that I have yarn to make it. As a matter of fact I have enough of the yarn to make 2 probably. 12 balls to be exact. Peruvian Collection Baby Silk from Elann.
That is NOT the color. I have basic cream which makes it so perfect for that sweater. And it’s a good thing I have so much, they don’t have that color any longer.
I will be doing a lace swatch tonight. I need to go through some books, stitchionary being one, to find the perfect little pointelle/chevron pattern for the tunic bottom. Can’t wait!!!
Oh, I did get the body finished on the lamb’s pride fair isle sweater and started working down one of the sleeves. I think it’s going to be finished in the next few days. Boring stockinette on size 8’s goes pretty darn fast!
And on the Mystery Stole I finished clue 2 and am working on the first side of clue 3. It’s a fast chart with a lot of stockinette so I am crossing my fingers that even though I am working on other projects I will have it ready to work clue 4 when it comes out Friday.
