I am almost to the first increase row - I really love the color of this yarn!I am still trying to visualize how this:
will end up looking like this: 
This is a really pretty bag I picked up cheap at a store that was closing:
It is my current favorite knitting bag.Finally the contest. This is the yarn I used for my FBS:
the smaller ball is what I had left from the ball I used - the larger is the 2nd skein that I did not need. I want to hold a contest to give this yarn away. The larger ball is a little over 400 yards. It is lovely lace wt yarn I picked up on ebay, 85% wool 15% nylon hand dyed. If you would like to win - leave me a comment with your favorite lace or cable pattern. I will put all the names in a hat and have one of the boys pick one next weekend. The lucky winner will get both balls of yarn.Now I am off to get ready for brunch with my best friend - manicures, gossip and food - a perfect day!

Yea! I love a contest. BTW, I also love that poncho ... I think it'll look great. My favorite lace pattern of all time has been the "Leaf Cravate" by Teva Durham in the Fall IWK 2003 (I believe that's the issue) --takes around 200 yards of worsted weight yarn and makes the most dainty little scarf. This was my first time reading a chart pattern, so perhaps that alone made it more fun for me. Jenifer http://knittingat5337.blogdrive.com
I really like this cable pattern:

A contest!
I loved the flower basket shawla s it was a realy easy knit. Hoever, my al time favourite is still the feather and fan stitch pattern (also known as "old shale"). It's an easy to remember 4- rw repeat pattern.
my favourite shawl at the moment is an online freebie but it looks so nice when done.. its called an Evevning Shawl can be found at www.crochetpatterncentral.com

Your FBS is gorgeous I am new to lace and I have been wanting to make this shawl but I am a little afraid it might be too much to start with. Maybe I will take the leap it is my personal fav from what I have seen.

I have two favorite patterns for shawls, the Seraphina (which works up beautifully) and also the Lion Brand Glitterspun Shawl that I purchased from their website. It is really pretty for dressy events.

Oh wow! Loverly yarn! Lovely FBS, too, it was a cool Knit along (I was part of it, too).
I can't really narrow it down..But a cabled pattern that I'm totally obsessed with (apart from Rogue) is from issue 27 of Rebecca : click. The blue one. But it's much cuter in real life, when you can see the bigger picture. Nice deep-ish neck, big collar, suitabel ribs..I just love it! Adn i've got hat issue, if you're really interested.
Lace pattern..Either the FBS or Kiri.
I hope you find something nice to knit!

Cool contest...
My favourite pattern right now is a little bit of cable, a little bit of lace. It's zig zag from the last issue of knitty (although it seems to be taking me FOREVER)
