Fantastic patterns. I'm working on Daydream, but trying to do it seamless. It'll depend how long that takes whether I'm able to do any others before it's due back at the library.
There are different gauge projects shown, but all the ones I'm drawn to are the finer gauge ones, which of course will take longer.
I'm finding Daydream to be not hard at all so far, although I did have to do the first 10 rows twice to get it right (and even then I had to add 2 stitches in row 13 to get the required number. It would be helpful if stitch counts were noted after every row, but for more experienced knitters it's probably not that big a deal. Seamless is working out well with the pattern doing right sides Left/Center/Right and opposite on the WS. I put stitch markers at the "ends" of each section so I don't have to count as much.
dumpling was very satisfying to knit! chunky yarn, easy pattern. i think it took me a weekend to knit up and block. i'm really happy with the way it turned out.
