I have enough testers. :)<\/p>\n<p>Second&#8211; I&#8217;m thinking ahead to my summer vacation project. I have been wanting to make my youngest a cardigan for a long time. I bought <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/8358852022\/\" target=\"_blank2\">the perfect cardi<\/a> for him, last year, so I didn&#8217;t get that urge to make one. I don&#8217;t think it will fit that well, this autumn, so I spent some time pattern-searching, the other night. I&#8217;m really intrigued by the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lopapeysa\" target=\"_blank3\">Lopapeysa<\/a> style patterns, so when I came upon <a href=\"http:\/\/knittingiceland.is\/2010\/12\/14\/loki-a-free-pattern\/\" target=\"_blank4\">this free one<\/a>, I knew it was The One. I&#8217;m going to use a lighter weight yarn (Houston autumns are just slightly-less-hot summers). Aren&#8217;t these colors beautiful?<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/8668955811\/\" title=\"104.365: yarrrrn! by Lisa | goodknits, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8403\/8668955811_4e969c1160_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" alt=\"104.365: yarrrrn!\"><\/a><BR><BR><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/8668949651\/\" title=\"yarn3 by Lisa | goodknits, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8542\/8668949651_b797f5fdf5_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" alt=\"yarn3\"><\/a><BR><BR><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/8670056496\/\" title=\"yarn2 by Lisa | goodknits, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8404\/8670056496_822ba14640_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" alt=\"yarn2\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First&#8211; anyone want to give the new blanket pattern a whirl?
