I have another FO to share, hurray! I am so so happy that I finished my cardigan in record time, it took me less than a month. It turned out really well, which is always a pleasure. I just need some warmer weather to start wearing it.
Pattern:February Lady Sweater
Yarn: SMC Nothern Worsted with Wool in cloud. I like this yarn. Reviews aren't so great on Webs, but I can't complain.
Mods: No real mods, except that I did decrease 8 stitches over 4 lace repeats on the sleeves before the garter stitch border. I'm not a girl that likes sleeves that flare. These are a happy medium.
Learned: That I do not need to hate when a pattern says, increase X number of stitches evenly over the next row. Now I know I can just go to this website and get the magic formula to do it. Brilliant.
I wish I could share a picture of me wearing it, but it is dark by the time I get home for work (or nearly), and I am too impatient to wait for this weekend. Anyway, picture a lady that needs a haircut (badly), with a HUGE smile on her face!
Love the sweater and the buttons!!! Oh my the buttons just make it.
ReplyDeleteLove that sweater
ReplyDeleteLove the sweater. It's beautiful. I love how the design and colour work so well together.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! I love that website too, I've used it a few times now. I really must get round to knitting a FLS at some point, I don't think I've ever seen one I didn't like
ReplyDeleteLove it! I just learned about that website, lifesaver ... or at the very least it keeps me from doing math. It will be lovely come cooler temps.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely sweater, pretty buttons too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Three-quarter sleeves are so practical, aren't they? I'd wish for warmer weather for you, but that would likely mean cooler weather for me, and I'm in no hurry for our summer to end :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Wear it, when you finally can, with pride! Thanks for the website!
ReplyDeleteYour cardigan is very pretty, and great matching buttons too.
ReplyDeleteI love the cardi! I'm very impressed with it only taking you a month.
ReplyDeleteGreat project! Please do take photos for us sometime! :)
ReplyDeleteYay for the FO! Love the buttons, I'm sure you'll get lots of wear out of it, I'm sure your smile is lovely too :D
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I love the really soft grey.
