Beautiful yarn + windfall free time = a cardigan front!


I've had a lovely Swinecation. I knit in the DMV waiting for my license renewal; I knit in the car on the way to Syracuse to pick up Raymond; I knit on the couch watching old episodes of TV shows on Hulu. It's been lovely.


After some other knitters weighed in, I went with my gut and knit a plain cardigan front. I'm pleased with the way it came out -- especially with the fact that it is EXACTLY the size I wanted it to be. My swatch, for once, did not lie. On to the back! Without a pretty lace panel, the back will be easier to knit but much more boring. Undaunted, I forge ahead! This is such beautiful yarn it just begs to be knit!

The yarn and the design definitely work together well.

I love that yarn! It's going to be so pretty when done, I can already tell.

Luscious! Of course you could always slip a lacy panel or two into the back just to spice things up a bit!
