Pattern suggestions, please!

Hi everyone!

I've been reading here for a while, & gotten a lot out of it, so thanks!

This week I made the trek from Portland, OR to Ashland for the Shakespeare Festival. In Ashland is a great shop called The Web-sters -- for knitters, spinners & all-around fiber-o-philes. And I couldn't keep myself from splurging. I now have two skeins of Kraemer Yarns Sterling Silk & Silver (fingering wt, ~840 yds total), and want to make something special with it. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of a shawl, but I'm not the best at lace & I'm not married to that idea anyway.

Personally, I think you should do Ishbel so you can SHARE MY PAIN! ;-)

That's the one thing we didn't get to in Vancouver, isn't it? No LYS. Dang.

Right, I'm going to try something that's giving *you* fits. I had no idea you had a sadistic side! :)

Nope, no LYS in BC! :( They have plenty, maybe next time?

What? Wait, you had no idea I had a sadistic side? Just who have you been hanging with for the last few years?? >-P

I'm about to frog the damned Ishbel for the third time. But seriously, the biggest problem has been trying to knit in dark rooms and while there was way too much pretty on display up front.

Maybe next time, for sure.

Okay, okay, no idea you had such a well-developed sadistic side?

No, that's not true either. :D

Maybe I'll try Ishbel with another yarn -- my stash overfloweth, y'know. We can do a KAL.
