For the past month or so we have been discussing starting an Olana KAL in my <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/browse/show/are-you-a-fan-of-grace-akhrem-join-us">Ravelry Group</a>! We have decided to get this KAL started in mid-February.  It seems like mid-February has crept up on us and its almost here.  Now it's time to get started on choosing some yarns.  Join us and make either the <a href="http://graceakhrem.com/project/olana-shawl/">Olana Shawl</a> or the <a href="http://graceakhrem.com/project/olana-slouch/">Olana Slouch</a>... or both!  I personally have decided to just to the Slouch, although I made decide to do the shawl again later on.  Wont you knit along with us?  I'll be available for Q&amp;A on the group as well as email, and here of course!

I have been thinking long and hard about which yarn to use for this KAL.... I think I might use Koigu, but I might change my mind at the last minute.  Which pattern will you make and which yarn are you thinking of using?
