Spring/Summer 2012 yarns are trickling in.  For all the lace knitters, Debbie Bliss has come out with Rialto Lace, a superwash merino at 390m per ball, and a nice price point. Debbie Bliss and Vogue Spring/Summer 2012 have some great designs; in store now. Vogue is coming out with a special Crochet Magazine in May (http://www.vogueknitting.com).
