Before I left for Tat Days I'd decided to knit another cardigan. I wanted something with fine yarn - not bulky. I know, I know, it's a huge task I'd set myself!!!
Well I got to Joanie's house and a few days into my visit she gave me this yarn. It's Sport weight and it's really, really lovely. The colour is actually a dark grey and it’s content is Alpaca, wool and acrylic.
I found this free pattern although I wasn’t looking for a free one this came up and I fell in love with it.
What I didn’t realise until I started it two weeks ago is that it’s worked from the bottom up and that the whole of the back and two sides (plus button bands) are knitted together. Makes for a LOT of stitches on the very long circular needle!!!
That's a gorgeous cardigan. I saw you working on that on the zoom Saturday. I'm knitting a hat for my bf, super simple, k2 p2.
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd chosen something simple like that, Crazy Mom!
ReplyDeleteBut you won’t need to sew parts together.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Jane!!! Win, win, I think!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree Jane. That cardigan is lovey and it's going to be very nice with that yarn you were gifted. I'll look forward to seeing it progress.
ReplyDeleteBut Jane! It's the journey, not the destination! Hèe!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Erin. It should keep me quiet for a few weeks or months!!!
