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.
I've made the Tappan Zee and I LOVE IT! Your colours are fabulous, I should do the same and brighten up my wardrobe. My Zee is.............cream. He he he!

ReplyDeleteI've got that pattern waiting. I keep telling myself I'll lose weight then make it...so far that plan isn't working :\
ReplyDeleteThat is some seriously bright (and awesome) yarn! Way to go outside of your comfort zone! Also, I was shocked to discover that you have a secret knitting "to-do-list", that is just too cool.
