Oooh, I really love the Moss color, but I can see why the Forest green would run a close second.
Does Marilyn have as many bobbles as I think she does? I wonder if I could get away with omitting them if I make it my next project. I have an aversion to bobbles. Not making them. Wearing them.

I'm not sure I'll have mine finished in a year (took me 6 years to do Inishmore...)
One of my goals for this year was to knit a sweater from start to finish without working on something else in between and then I said to myself, "BUT WHY?" Love the kitty. Cat Protection Program...hahahahahaa!
I endorse your moss choice, but I have a small correction to point out:
You fed that cat? it's no longer a stray: it's yours. Esp if he's hanging out. And you've named him. Twinkie's a good name.
I lost Simon in the Fall, after 18 years together, orange cat, once a stray, always faithful, never affectionate. May you be happy together through worming and neutering!
If you don't have a lot of green in your wardrobe, I think I would go with the moss. You don't want to have a beautiful finished (and very detailed) sweater that you don't wear! Maybe use the green for something smaller and simpler?

Posted by LeAnne at March 31, 2005 01:30 PMOf course you can do it! Especially when you have been challenged. I like the moss better too. Hafta find something else to make in green :)
Posted by Vicki at March 31, 2005 11:29 AMThe lighter colors of Moss will show off those pretty cables better. The kitty is very cute. Have you named him yet?
Posted by monica at March 31, 2005 10:06 AMForest is beautiful, but there's no beating Moss. I covet that color. And Bluestack. And Chestnut. And, and and...
Black Water Abbey is like Peace Fleece; one color is never enough. ;-)
Posted by Beth S. at March 31, 2005 09:47 AMIt's ok to be a knitting slacker. It's a hobby, not a job.

That's a great "elusive cat" photo -- very artistic! :-)
Posted by Wendy at March 31, 2005 07:44 AMI want to knit Marilyn, too. Let's not start a knit-a-long - but maybe just encourage each other...
I do have a couple of things that I should finish up first, though... (cough, hack, Inishmore, cough, Little Rivers, cough, hack)...
email me!

I love the pattern...just gorgeous. I like the forest green shade. Cute little kitty.
