Ok, I have to admit that I shouldn’t have really cast this on because I have so many other things I should be completing. Like, sweaters for the Mr & Carol, scarves, Christmas & birthday knits and…oh yeah…packing this darn house! So I’m not sure how this got on the needles but I blame Mette & her fabulous yarn.
Pattern: Girl Friday free from Knitty
Yarn: Zoo Blend by Ranch Of The Oaks
Verdict? LOVE!!! I was going for a slouchy English cardigan. You know the ones that are always shown in the movies looking oh so cute & oh so comfy. Well I think I achieved it. It’s fitted enough in the right places but big enough that I can lounge. I love it!
The lace pattern was so easy that I used practically no brain power to knit it. I am really pleased that I used a lace pattern for this yarn or else I fear it would have been one HEAVY sweater. Which is fine because I’m moving to Washington State but I wanted something more versatile.
This was a seriously easy pattern to follow. The shaping is minimal & the collar is delish! I would totally recommend everyone take a new look at this sweater.
What an AWESOME sweater — you’ll get tons of mileage out of it in Washington. I remember shivering during my sister’s July 2nd wedding in Seattle.
Ok seeing how fabulous yours turned out is inspiring me to pull mine out of the closet and redo the collar- I bound off too tightly so you can imagine how badly that looks and feels.
Look at you getting your model on..
That is a seriously cut cardy! Oh and you’ll love this, Amelia’s been taking that blanket to school for nap time.
LOVE this sweater. You’re adorable.
