Time to vote for the next KAL.  I thought we could do a spring/summer garment so that we aren't boiling over when knitting this season.  Make sure you cast your vote here (below)!!! Your options are: <a href="http://graceakhrem.com/project/aviva/">Aviva</a>, <a href="http://graceakhrem.com/project/silver-lining/">Silver Lining</a>, <a href="http://graceakhrem.com/project/rippling-lace/">Rippling Lace</a> &amp; <a href="http://graceakhrem.com/project/olgas-vest/">Olga's Vest</a>:
