If you were planning on doing the faraway, so close I would probably be tempted to join in towards the colder weather if you wanted to arrange one later in the year...
@dawnsmummy you can do a FASC with DK, it will just be smaller - take a look at Honey I Shrank the Shawl on Rav where they have knitted it in sock yarn. I have worsted for mine.
ETA: As owlet and B&B vest both have 6 votes maybe we could do both so that those (like me) that definitely wont do one could do the other? I hate the owl design so no way if that was picked that I would join in but I know so many of you love it. What does everyone else think?
