Angora Cross-Your-Heart Vest

Well, I'm about 3/4 of the way through with my daughter's little angora vest. Here's a preview. I like it. That yarn is so soft and light-weight. It feels like I'm knitting feathers. It's Phildar "Angora," which is 80% angora, 20% lambswool, if I remember correctly.

I was thinking of doing some lacey designs in it, but when I attempted a little yarnover to see how it would look, I couldn't really see the hole. I think I'll have to get myself a lace pattern for a scarf and follow it to really get the idea of how to knit lace.
