Decided to make a kimino-style sweater using navy blue Wool-Ease Thick 'n' Quick from Lion Brand. The yarn is relatively inexpensive, so it's a good choice for a beginner like me.
I purchased the pattern online here: http://dimanchechezmoi.com/patterns/nati/.
On Ravelry.com, I saw that another knitter had made this sweater in navy Thick 'n' Quick. I toyed with the idea using a different color (claret and linen were second and third choices), but I really like the navy ... so if I post my project there, I'll say I was inspired by her beautiful sweater!
In the interim, I'm continuing to work on this weird tam -- will post a photo soon. Also biding my time with a strange stocking cap pattern that I don't know if I'll finish. And am reading Twilight, recommended by several friends. (So far, I really don't see the attraction!)
I'm excited to get started on my first sweater. I think it will be the first of many. :-)
