I grew weary of my purple cardigan, with its endless all knits, then all purls. Such tiny yarn, and wo, I'm so far from the fun smocking section! So I cast on a new cardigan with my handspun yoke. It's bulky and uneven and quite fun. This one starts with the patterned yarn (top-down knitting, my other cardigan was bottom-up knit). I tried it on tonight to see if it's fitting ok. Not bad! Sure I could tweak it here and there, but it's kind of a rough and wild cardi. I'll keep going. Hopefully I have enough yarn to finish! I'm all out of matching roving to spin any more.
(The pattern is the
Shalom Cardigan. I'm doing it with 7 mm needles, no mods to the pattern so far.)
