Just like the attack of the picots from 2 summers ago, I'm currently beset by feather and fan.
There's my version of the Buttercup Sweater (that's a link to Ravelry, which won't work for the non-knitters/non-members), which has feather and fan at the neck.
(I wore it last week and again yesterday, and I think I may want to mess with the lower hem before it's really done--I finished it off with a few rows of garter stitch, but it still wants to roll.)
And I speed knit a Wave Skirt (another Ravelry link) last week, which has feather and fan on the lower hem.
Finally, a top of my own creation...
... That's not quite done. I had 2 skeins of Class Elite's bamboo and cotton blend left over from the top I made last summer, which wasn't enough to make anything adult-sized on its own. I originally thought I'd make the skirt of a dress for E, with the top in another yarn, but then I thought maybe giving my sister a half cream dress to keep clean wasn't very sisterly. So I knit the cream yarn into the lower part of a top for me, and I'll make the upper bodice out of fabric and attach the knitted part to it. Eventually... it's amazing how I procrastinate on sewing!

I can't wait to see fuller images of both Buttercupish and the Wave skirt! I've wanted to knit a skirt for a while now. How did you do the waist? Drawstring or elastic?
I love feather and fan! So fancy but so easy! Those items look great!
I'm with Beth on wanting to see the full sweaterand I'm with you on a Feather & Fan thing , knitting the Sage Remedy altho starting to wonder if I shouldn't be knitting Buttercup instead.
