Looks Like Lilacs to Me!

Wow--this was a wonderful treat in yesterday's mailbox---This color is so beautiful, I can just imagine a bouquet of lilacs on the table and can almost smell them too! Thanks, Connie, for an early breath of Spring and another great pattern. Has anyone cast on yet, and, if so, what neeedle size did you use to get guage for your California Dreamin'? Stay warm and cozy with your knitting, all...perfect weather for it here in the Northeast!
