A Cardigan for ME!


It is finished and it fits. Woo!


The info. if I haven't said already ... Cardigan for Arwen with Cascade 220 the Heather Series and size 7, 6 and 5 needles. This knitting on these actually gave me a slightly larger gauge resulting in a sweater somewhere between the two smaller sizes when knit using the smallest size instructions. I liked this pattern it is so creatively designed. In some ways it was easy in other ways it tested my knitting skills. I feel more comfortable with reading a cable pattern and with grafting after knitting this sweater. It is quite warm, I had to change into a t-shirt today to be able to wear it.

The husband enjoyed taking this picture. sigh....

Now what... hmmmmm... I've started a shirt but I've also decided I need something with a little more immediate gratification. But what? I have yarn to make the Bug some mittens for next winter. But after she flooded the bathroom today I'm not very inclined to knit for her at this moment. What to knit oh what to knit....
