Next, please....

So one project down. Thanks so much to everyone who left me comments about the cardigan. I wore it all day yesterday and I love it! It's warm, yet light. It's soft and drapey. It also fits better than I thought (yes I can button it... the sleeves and back were never the problem, it's the front real estate that can be difficult to cover).

So that leaves the "what's next" issue. There's the FLAK, but my saddles are done and I'm waiting for the next installment (I could work ahead, but I'm doing it as a KAL, so I'm waiting). I like doing a project like this. It keeps the anticipation up. Anyway, what did I work on yesterday as my next project?

Marilyn

Yep, Marilyn (by Beth Brown-Reinsel in Black Water Abby's Iris yarn). Lovely, no?

My only issue? I don't think I like working a project in one piece. It takes forever to do just one row. I don't get the same sense of accomplishment as the fabric doesn't grow as fast... yes, yes, I know, it's as long as it broad, but I like to see things develop.

Well, that's about it today. It's an other dark dreary day. Matt's feeling a bit under the weather (over training perhaps?) so I think we'll take it easy today.

Happy Knitting!!!

  2. I didn't get a chance to tell you how wonderful your sweater looks. It's just perfect. Hopefully I can get my saddles done in the next few days.
