I have not finished Avril.
By the time I get to my knitting I have been mentally unsuited for anything other than simple mindless entertainment. So I have been creating a simple tee shaped sweater out of the On-Line cotton. It is amazing what a difference 3 1/2 stitches to the inch makes in terms of progress compared to the almost 6 1/2 of ruby bubbles.
I am calling this my stormy wildflowers tee and I am not quite sure what I think of it yet. It is simple seed stitch and the knitting is going quickly. I love the weight and drape of the knitted fabric, but I am not yet sure what I think of the colors. Sometimes I love them, other times, not so much. I'm willing to wait and see how it progresses though. It is not so much the way the colors become more muted with in the knitted fabric, but that the yellow seems more dominant than I expected. I'm not sure though, and I think how I finish the sweater will make a difference.
I am enjoying knitting though, and am willing to wait and see how it turns out.
