Poncho or Pullover?

The orange yarn from KnitPicks will be waiting for me when I get back. I ordered it with the intention of making the herringbone poncho from LMNG, but there's a great sweater in IK Summer 2005 issue that I might try for my first sweater instead. The Lace Leaf Pullover.
Oo La La. I wish I could start it right now (especially with the leaf pattern all fresh in my head from working on the eye pillow, which I finished the knitting portion of today and am waiting for it to dry so I can add the flare and the flax and sew it shut).
