Casual Delights Afghan
Quick summery: did half of this aghan, put it away for about a year, then it finished up very quickly
Initial impression: easy pattern, the yarn washed up beautifully, good size and very snuggly
Current impression: love it. I snuggle under this every morning with my coffee/knitting/MLB Hot Stove (we no longer watch ESPN, as we don't follow soccer).
Final thoughts: a great afghan... and you simply can't have too many great afghans (especially with 2 feet of snow outside!)
Fylingdales Cardigan
Quick summery: a pattern I had for years, then it was included in Lisa Llyod's book "A Fine Fleece"... this is the third yarn I tried for it, with good results.
Initial impression: loved it! the pattern was easy, the knitting interesting and I looooooove the color (doesn't photograph well)
Current impression: I love it. I've worn it a lot since completion. It is very warm, almost a light weight coat.
Final thoughts: a great project with good results. I have yet to be disappointed in a Lisa Lloyd pattern.
I'm getting close to wrapping up my Year in Review... just 2 more finished projects... and I'm still "hoping" to get one more done this year. (However, between Matt being on vacation til next year plus Mass Effect, I haven't been putting a lot of time into my Dymphna Pullover). We'll see! I still have 9 days left in the year!
