The little stripey cardigan is gorgeous - those are some of my favourite colours! The Azzurri looks lovely too - looking forward to seeing the finished item. I love those multi-coloured yarns. Don't they seem to knit up fast when you've got the added interest of different shades going through your needles?

I'm very impressed with that cardigan!! especially the ribbing & detailing. I can do very very basic knitting & agree that it's much more fun with varigated wool, then you get to see if "stripes" or "patches" come through Every now & then I want to stitch a few more squares which may eventually be turned into a blanket, I love the idea of how a ball of wool can turn into something to keep you warm!!
But hubby gets annoyed by the click... click... click noises, even more so than when I'm stitching and (he thinks) missing most of the TV programme (not true, I can do both perfectly well lol)

Most men are just no good at doing two things at once! And my husband couldn't stand the sound of knitting needles clicking, either. I used to kit when he was out. My son never moans about it, though.

Yes, I like the colours of the blue/green/white cardigan, too. And the colours of the orange/shades Azzuri appealed to me very much. Unfortuneately, there are so many nice colours in the range that I can't possibly knit them all! There is a green one I'm very tempted by, though... but I've already got the blue/shades and the beige/shades as well as this orange one!

And yeah... I knit faster just to see what is going to happen next!

Looks fab.

That bluey cardie is not boring or old, but rather lovely. And I will be looking forward to seeing the fawn cardigan finished.
