Lace, Cotton, Mother's Day project

I've been wanting to learn lace and practice it. My ideal goal is to design an tank top/shell/top thing that uses a lacy stitch on the body, fitted chest with short rows and ruffly sleeves/straps that I can wear in spring. I have yet to find a pattern that matches those descriptions in my size so it looks like again I'm going to have to make the pattern myself. I swear I'm going to become a designer by default just because of my big chest. DDD cups suck, let me tell you.

Anyway, to practice lacy knitting, I decided to make giftbaskets for our mothers and grandmothers including hand knitted dishcloths. I made it over to hobby lobby yesterday and bought 9 balls of Lily Sugar n' cream. And I may go get more since it was so darned cheap. I'm getting all the patterns from The Dishcloth Boutique. So far I've made two and I'm on to three. Yay. Too bad there's no cable patterns or I could practice that too.

Still working on the wavy afghan, but I'm taking a break to work on the cloths. Whee.

Haven't started the dying process for the Belle yarn yet, but spring break's this week so I'll have plenty of time to get it done.
