Flint Knits' February Lady Sweater

I don't know who started it, but within the past five days five different people in my Ravelry friend list have queued the Flint Knits February Lady Sweater. My goodness, this sweater is just spectacular! Based on Elizabeth Zimmerman's February baby sweater, this lace cardigan is the same adorable sweater in adult size. And in Sundara worsted merino in green, it's just fabulous.

I love how quickly this pattern spread (thanks to blogs and Ravelry). Pam only posted it on 6 June, and it spread like wildfire. I think I saw one person with it in my friend list, then I queued it, and then I saw four others in my friend list queue it. 88 people have already started it, and over 2,000 folks have queued it.

Very cool!

But I have to finish a couple of other WIPs first ... and then remake my Coachella, which I did not make with negative ease, to my great detriment.

WIP: Fifi update

Fifi is coming along at a nice pace:

IMGP1157

I'm beyond the cable section at the top, and about one-fourth of the way through the bodice ribbing section. It's a nice 8-row repeat. I think I'll make it longer than the pattern calls for; I have a long torso, and I don't want it to be as cropped as in the pattern.

The Brooks Farm Willow yarn continues to be a joy to work, and the colors are gorgeous!

Should be ready for summer wear soon!
