Update..... I've been keeping busy with my latest indulgence of hand dyeing fiber, it's unfortunately taken time away from the knitting..... I went through a bit of startitis awhile back, but I've managed to keep it in check. I thought I'd post some pic's showing some of the little progress I've been making.

Loving this pattern. Jackie E-S is the designer from the website Heart Strings Fiber Arts. She has some lovely lace patterns.
