FO:Myrna

I finished Myrna last night. I looove it. It came out (in my opinion) as close to perfect as my knitting will ever be. I took some pre-blocking pictures of the cardy on a hanger which I will share here but I don't have any pictures of it actually on. I have to wait for my buttons. So of course, now I am especially impatient for my buttons to get here, I want to wear my cardy! I'm pretty pleased with how it looks on, and I'm glad I went down a needle size,  as it's meant to be fitted.

 I will definitely make this cardy again. I'd like to use a more luxurious yarn for my next Myrna. I have some Malabrigo Rios that is earmarked for a future Myrna, but at some point I'd like to get some Miss Babs Yowza  (the yarn that Andi Satterlund used for her Myrna) At the moment I'm coveting the colourways  Arya, Lurch, Coventry, Jonquil, Bruin and Beachglass. I'm going to end up with a dozen Myrna's in various colours :)

I don't know what my next project is. I can't make another Myrna just yet-doing socks has taught me I cannot happily knit the same project, one after another, I need to do something different. I want to knit a hat with the leftover Cascade 220 but not only do I need to do a different project, I also need to knit with a completely different colour!
