The truth is, I really wanted to do Miette. But it was knit in worsted and I wanted something lighter so that I can wear it all year round. Worsted is fine for the winter, but even with a super-cooled air-conditioned office, it's just too heavy for summer.
So I scoured Ravelry and came up with Windsong.
And while I was hunting through Ravelry, I was Skyping with Mom and asking how much Stray Cat we had in stock, as I'd need to dye some up.
And that's when she offered up this from her stash:
Now I should be a good girl, and finish up Lestrange first... does anyone want to take bets on if that's really going to happen?

How stunning is that pattern??? I must share it with my daughter
wow excellent choice!
You're tempting me with that pattern. It's just perfect!
Perfect choice of yarn.....I'm betting it will be started real soon. LOL
That pattern is just amazing! I could never pull that off with my knitting skills, you're so talented! And the yarn is gorgeous, it'll be such a wonderful project!
That'll look lovely in the yarn you've been offered. Luckily I can't make it, not much in the way of sport weight yarn available here and what I've managed to get my mitts on is already married to patterns.
So I'll be back tomorrow to see the first few inches of Windsong :)
Hmmm, are we betting yarn? Cause I'm not taking that bet if I have to give up yarn. LOL!
Wow , gorgeous pattern and yarn ! I'm betting that Lestrange will still be waiting it's turn . After all , summer is just around the corner and you NEED that cardi for your dress . BTW , please stop tempting me with patterns , you enabler , you ;-)
Great looking pattern; that's my favorite out of all the pictures/patterns you've posted. I am anxious to see it knit in RED! Why wait?... start casting on!!
Geez, you have been up to so much. I hope you're not offended that I'm going to consolidate my comments today, I'm behind. I love the cropped sweater, especially with your sun dresses. I am a huge fan of polka dots so I hope this means we can be friends. That dress will be lovely with the pattern and gorgeous red yarn you got. After seeing your amazing sun dress collection, I'm guessing it will go with more than just the dots!
