Last week I received my very first IK subscription, and I love it. It is really hard to decide which item to knit first.
I finally decided I will give a try to the ruffled surplice, this is going to be my first (or second) big project, I hope I will be able to finish it. In the meantime I'm making Orangina (in black) from Glampyre knits. This gal is a genious! So simple, yet great pattern! I started to cast on for this for three times, and always made a LOT more stiches. Either I'm dummy, or it was too late, or I need glasses.
The lace pattern is so simple, that I didn't even mind I had to start over and over again. I want to make it perfect.

I have a secret bag of a nice, striped yarn, and still looking for a good pattern for this. I love the yarn, but I don't think horizontal stripes will be flattering on me....

I will put on pictures even if I don't have knitting or beading pics to post, just to cheer up anyone who is reading. The picture on the right is my DD, in the kindergarten with a friend, with her face painted as a butterfly. She is absolutely beautiful, and the cutest little 4 year old on the whole world.
