New Knitting!

This will be the first big project I’ve worked on since we’ve moved and I’m so excited! It’s the Larch Cardigan by Amy Christoffers. I’m going to knit it up in Knit Picks’ Stroll Sport in Mustard. I’m just waiting on the yarn from the warehouse to get stitchin’!

Sweater Time

I finished a cardigan I’ve been working on (for what seems like a small eternity)! Oh it feels so good to call something “done”. But it’s not done, not really. I might still get an urge to embroidery more bits of this and that… and I might put some buttons on, just for show. But for now, I’m satisfied. The pattern is for a Featherweight Cardigan by knitbot. It was a pretty great pattern, you knit the cardigan from the top downwards, which is unusual. I used the same yarn I made my last pair of fingerless mittens out of (Knitpicks’ Palette). I’d never embroidered anything on something I’d knit before and it was surprisingly easy. I think it helped that the stitches are so small and even. Perfect!
