I have finished Amelia.
She is nice but she does not set my world on fire like Flair did.
She is a serviceable and comfortable cardigan - but no fashion statement.
Maybe it is the yarn - Rowan felted tweed.
Maybe it is the pattern
Maybe it is the colour - brown.
she is rather unexciting.
don't you hate that?

Serviceable and comfortable = worn forever!
I love brown but it always makes me feel invisible unless I wear something red or bright green with it. I'm a lot darker than you though so a different colour again may work for you with the brown.
Put a big brooch on it and different beads and watch it change. Trust me.
Personally, I love it. And it looks comfy so double points in my book.
yep, I love it but I agree with Michelle - something to enhance it will be an accessory of some kind. I reckon it'll be fab then!
I still want to make one.
I think it's lovely, but maybe you'll feel better with a brooch like the others suggest. Bright red or pink? (Or both together - I love that combo)
Bummer. I'm always so excited that I've actually finished a garment for me that I love it no matter what.
Maybe it is the brown, and maybe accessories or a bright top underneath will help. I think it looks great.
i kind of feel the same way about the brown lily i am wearing at the moment, but i know it serves a very useful purpose, and i know that one looks great on you!
How disappointing. Though I think she looks great - fabulously comfortable and cozy :-) One of the reasons I'm yet to embark on a big knitting project is because I'm scared I wont like it when it's finished!
BTW - pull out the day bag pattern. Nicole gives such detailed instructions that I think that even I will end up with something that looks vaguely like it should!
Or maybe she is a timeless classic?
