Where did the last six weeks go. Sometimes, I think you get out of the habit of blogging and then lose a bit of confidence. But here I am. Starting again. Hopefully some of you are still around to read this.
I have been working on a test knit of the Garden Cardigan by Jennifer Thompson.
This cardigan was a pleasure to knit. The instructions were clear and straight forward. The photo is a pre-blocked one as the weather has been appalling. I hope that a lot of the irregular garter stitch will come out in blocking and the leaf pattern will be more apparent. I made this in Sublime Soya Cotton in Nettle which I bought in a sale at Get Knitted. I think, when I do this again, I will do it in a wool mix rather than in cotton. I think the stitches would be a lot more even (or am I kidding myself). I hope to post some more photos when I have blocked it.
Beautiful, can't wait to see blocked pictures (and you modelling it?)
ReplyDeleteWondered where you'd gotten to...glad your back and that is gorgeous!
ReplyDeletequite like this color. the cardi looks so cozy!
ReplyDeleteI really like the colour. You will be all set for spring!
ReplyDeletei like that color! i've only knit one garment with cotton, and i used tahki cotton classic and...it Was a tank top. Now it goes to my knees. so...how did yours turn out once you were done? i'm wondering if a cotton mix is better than 100% mercerized cotton for garments?
ReplyDeleteThis turned out very beautiful! Love the color! Blocking is always a pain, but worth it in the end!
