I am very excited about this knit-a-long! I was too late to join MS3 but when viewing Melanie's site fell in love with the Hanami stole and knew I just had to knit it.
I'm still checking out yarn possibilities. Currently I'm waiting on some Zephyr Wool Silk - Vanilla to knit Leda's Dream for my sister. She's getting remarried (possibly a sunset wedding on a beach-Hawaii) in the spring and I thought it would be nice to make her a wedding shawl. I thought the story behind the shawl, the pattern, etc. was a perfect match.
Looking forward to seeing everyone's progress on MS3 as well as the Hanami stole. :)

I'm also making my sister a wedding shawl. I've got some really nice ivory seasilk. If she goes with a white dress, I'll just have to keep it. Too bad, really.
I'm working on Leda's Dream right now in an ice blue Bamboo. I'm really enjoying her patterns. I'm putting in plenty of lifelines so I'm not overly worried if I make a bad mistake and have to go back a couple rows. :-) Good luck to both of you.
I never know when to put in a lifeline - like how many rows can I deal with pulling back?? I only have 1 in MS3 right now, and will put one in at row 287 - but there's a big section in between with nothing - I'm tempting fate...
