Hopefully, one day in the near future, this will look like a cardigan(!) rather than something from a swamp. I stumbled upon a crochet pattern book called Sensual Crochet, and while I'm not so fond of the books title, it's probably the best collection of crochet patterns I've ever seen. I like almost all the patterns in this book and will probably end up making a whole bunch of them.
Crochet has a downside: it uses up a lot of yarn. But it has an upside as well: it goes really fast, which is a nice change of pace when you've been working on the same stupid knitted sweater for ever and ever.
So, onwards and upwards.
