And here it is!
Project Details:
Pattern: Color Affection, by Veera Välimäki
Yarn: Swan's Island Natural Colors Merino Fingering; colors are Garnet, Natural, and Oatmeal
Needles: 3.5 mm circulars (ChiaoGoo)
Started: February 27, 2014
Finished: November 16, 2014
For: Me!
What I Learned: Garter stitch is boring, but it certainly does make a nice squishy fabric. I really love this and will wear it a lot. Those last few thousand stitches made me want to poke my eyes out with sharp knitting needles, but it is very pretty done. I might even be convinced to make another one.
And just because I can:
Now I need to finish this:
This is John's Old Friend Peace Fleece sweater. I have it done “except” for the second sleeve, which you see started right there. This is terrific television knitting: nice boring stocking stitch, just like I like it.
And for the record, that is another 1440 meters of yarn out of the stash. I have a little of each of the colors left, perhaps enough for a pair of mitts at some point, but I'm calling it gone.

Oh, that is magnificent. Great, great finish.
The colors suit you so well. I need to finish the Falling Hearts Shawl from Jane Austen 2013 before I can begin my Color Affection.
Wow! All that boring garter stitch is worth it when you have your Color Affection on! You…and it…are beautiful! Those are wonderful colors for you; hope you wear those colors often.
Happy Thanksgiving!
