I'm also using the recommended yarns, as I love them. Two skeins are Vanna's Choice and three are Unique, a new yarn from Lion Brand. The Unique is very soft and nice. A bit like Homespun, but not nearly so 'hairy'.
Oh, and as to watching Downton during a stitching marathon, forget that! You'd miss a raised brow, or curious look! It is just all-engrossing! Even DH is caught up in it. I'm enjoying it so much more than the hit or miss I did with it when it played on TV. Now I understand the whys and whats. We are half-way through Season 3. Season 4 doesn't play in the States until January. What to do; what to do? Perhaps check The Tudors out of the library? Sure beats anything on TV! And, if I'd go back to crocheting ruffle scarfs or similar, I could hook and watch at the same time maybe. But not during Downton.

Hi Pat,
Love the colors of the cardigan. I printed off the instructions but don't know if I will do it or not.
Thanks for the reply about the album in SBS. Have a great day.
Nice pattern. I need to pull out my hand quilting and have a marathon day with Downton Abbey as well.
Hi Pat:
I've found that there are times, while knitting / crocheting that I can keep up with a video but it's not often. Another 'promise' I've made to myself, when 'listening' to audible books, is to check each row for looks .... what a drag if I've made a mistake five rows (or more) ago! I do think it's easier to 'listen' only than to try working on a project during videos!
I watched all three seasons of "Downton Abbey" while in Mexico earlier this year and now I'm WAITING, somewhat impatiently, for Season Four. I'm full-timing in my RV for a year or more and haven't even hooked up the TV! I can find NOTHING to watch. MP
Your Cardi is looking great Pat! Love the colors.
I'm in withdrawal waiting for DA to start again in January!
