I've never grown Amaryllis before, but since we grow Resurrection Lilies, which are really a kind of amaryllis, I think, I decided to give it a try. Here they are, blooming away by the birdbath. I don't know if they will live through next winter, but this is an experiment.
There are three sweaters in various degrees of completion at the moment.

| These two cardigans will be jackets like my pink one. The emerald green one has the same garter/eyelet borders, but the navy blue one has plain garter borders. | |
 |
| This cardigan is just for fun, to try out a variegated yarn. This colorway looks pretty layered over an aqua tank I have which tones down the flashy nature of the yarn. | |

This is what happens when you produce sweaters so quickly - you end up with several to sew together and do all the finishing. We'll see how fast I am able to get them done. The variegated cardigan is the latest draft of my raglan sweater with a few extra stitches added to the sleeve top. It seems to fit nicely but you can't really tell until after the first washing.
The leftovers afghan is stalled at the moment though, and the gray and gold sweater is still waiting for its buttons.
