WIP - Tappan Zee Cardigan


I was so excited that I managed to finish knitting a garment that actually fits me that I could not wait to cast on something else :)

The {Tappan Zee Cardigan} has been on my secret "to-do-list" for some time and now I feel confident enough that I will do the pattern justice.

I also wanted to get a start on one of my goals for this year to use a brighter colour so I went and bought red and orange as I think those two look awesome together.
To be honest, I am not so sure about my choice of yarn - {Adriafill Azzure}.
Can't put a finger on it but there is something about the yarn which  I don't like - I think it feels too "plasticy". It doesn't have a nice soft touch feel to it...but hey I carry on and I am sure once it's done I will love it anyway.

  3. Those colours are fantastic! I love how bright they are. Keep at it, maybe with a good soak when finished they will soften up?
