Well, after 45 years of knitting, I finally knitted something for myself that is bigger and more complicated than a scarf or an afghan. The flash made it look a little brighter than it actually is. Actually the colors are more subdued, less pink and more maroon. It was fun and didn't take me a terribly long time. Only problem...now it's too hot to wear it until next winter. So into the closet it shall go. I've already started on my next project!
