Results & Flowers

So the poll didn’t really work as I’d hoped. Either it wasn’t recording anyone else’s entries or I’m really the only one who voted (and that was a test). Ah well.

After sitting with the options for a while and considering the yarn I have (Dream in Color Classy), I’m going to frog the FLS and make Ysolda’s Vine Yoke Cardigan. It’s button-down all the way and looks the warmest. Plus I think the vines will look really nice in green. Not sure when I’ll pick this one up – might do some of the other small stuff in my queue first – but making a decision feels good.

Also finished my Anemone flower for the Yarn Wranglers group participation in the SF Ravelry Meet-up. It’s very pretty, if a bit bigger than I anticipated. Haven’t sewn on the pin backing or the Wranglers ribbon yet, but I’ll definitely be done by May 16. As for what I learned on this project, I made bobbles for the first time!

Poll: Replace February Lady Sweater

So if I have to rip back the February Lady Sweater (see last post if you missed that part), I figure I should just frog the project (i.e. rip it out entirely and use the yarn for something else). In that case let me know using the poll below (or in comments) which sweater I should make instead!

February Fitted Pullover: Uses the current sweater most effectively as a swatch and takes what I like about the FLS while still doing something new.

Vine Yoke Cardigan: A chance to try out a Ysolda pattern and it’s still a cardigan. Uses bigger needles too so I might have leftover yarn!

Katrina Ballerina Lace Laying Cardigan: Similar to the FLS but with a less lacy look to it. I could do this one with buttons all the way down, or not. It’s been done well in this yarn (though that’s true for all of the patterns I’ve listed here).
