Alrighty, now's the time for the standard warning: if you happen to be Niece #2 - You may not look any further!! Anyone else, look away!
Okie Dokie, just completed today is this lovely Cardigan! I used Caron Simply Soft to give it a nice drape and to be kind of fuzzy. I'm a fan of this acrylic because it's not scratchy at all, but I found it to be a tad splitier than the Eco version of the same yarn, which I've used for numerous other projects for dads and nieces and nephews alike.
This is the Fresh Picked 3/4 Sleeve Cardigan, a free pattern from Lion Brand that can be found here (you do need to sign up for their website though). The pattern was super simple and only took me 5 days to finish!
The last of my christmas knitting now comes down to that dang pea coat. To Frog or Not To Frog? THAT is the question.
It's darling! I wish I had a small niece to knit for (all mine are high-schoolers/college aged.)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Beautiful! You're really coming along with all your gifts. I'm inspired and impressed! :o) Can't wait to see what you decide on the coat. Either way, I bet you'll always refer to it as "That Dang Pea Coat" ;o) Larri at Seams Inspired

ReplyDeleteThe sweater came out just lovely. There truly is a place for all yarns! And I am jealous that you are so close to finishing holiday knits. That must feel great (I wouldn't know).
