There was at least one good reason for my lack of posting recently! Last week I was knitting like a maniac – It's my first shop model for Simply fibers! The really great thing is that I get it back in 3-4 weeks, which is just about the time when it will be warm enough to wear it!
Project Details:
Pattern: Cropped Lace Cardigan, by Sandi Rosner, from North American Designer Collection No. 6 (Nashua Handknits)
Yarn: Nashua Cilantro. 7 balls, color lavender gray (This yarn is kinda weird – it's mostly cotton, with about 25% acrylic, but it's really squishy and stretchy)
Needle Size: Size 7 Denise needles
Pattern Modifications: Switched the shoulder bind-off to three-needle bind-off.
Time to knit: 6 days! (To be fair, three of those days I didn't have to work. Hooray government job and your wonderful holidays!)
Final impressions: Pretty cute! It's also nice to knit a sweater that I can actually wear in the same season when I decided to knit it. Plus, it was fun trying a new yarn.
So cute!!
That is a great little sweater! I’m not usually a huge fan of the cropped sweaters, but I could definitely see myself wearing that. And it’s awesome that you get the sample back in a few weeks!
Adorable – and I really did like that yarn. Wonder what I should make with it?
Nice sweater! I’m glad you get to keep it. I’d like to try that yarn, too.
Cute sweater! Also, I love your haircut.
It’s so lovely!
It is darling – great job!!
What a cute model too!
Knit in 6 days! Wow! Awesome! It’s very cute.
Your hair looks so cute! I think the cropped sweater shows it off great.
Very cute and you make a nice model! I wish I could wear that style but, alas, I cannot. However, it looks terrific on you!
