That’s what I should rename this site. The Cardigan Blog. More on this later.
First, thank you for all the well wishes! I was fully recovered soon after my last post, and have been enjoying Spring and other life goodness. Some weeks back, we got a new chair and table to match our adirondack settee, making a cozy patio even better:
A great place to lounge, yogurt yumminess, HP and the Deathly Hallows on its release day (thanks Amazon!), and New England Knits. Very happy making! I also got an iPad a few weeks back, and have, unsurprisingly, been ensconced. Fishdom was my master for about a week.
In the month since my last post (egads!), I have worked on a new cardigan. Shock and awe, I know. I am nearing the finish line on a Goodale in Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool:
I made it a bit longer, and knitted a garter hem instead of ribbing. How long the sleeves are depends on how much yarn I have left. I’d like to be 3/4 length, but it will be a close thing.
I worked here and there on the Aryn Cardi, and now it has…pockets!
I heart the pockets. I really want this as a FO, but the stitch pattern, while easily memorized, still requires a certain amount of attention. I was crazing stockinette. Hence, Goodale. I will probably finish this cardi about mid-September when it’s a 100F.
I’ve also worked up another sooper secret sample knit. And that’s about that. I hope you are all enjoying the Spring weather and finding time to knit!
I love the Goodale pattern!! Cannot wait to see yours
I, too, seem to be a cardigan maker! We can be sister blogs haha
I’m thrilled to see cardigans, or any sweaters really! I miss all the great knitting projects on blogs these days. I love your new lounging spot outdoors, and am envying your iPad!!
Glad you’re back.
Your outdoor space looks so inviting. We’ve had unending rain for, oh, since whenever the snow stopped, so I can’t really even remember sitting outside.
Lovely knitting.
i love you and so enjoy pics of your life and garden…..makes me feel closer ……..xoxoxox
