As you can see I'm still plodding along on Sarah's cardigan. I decided to rip out the cable bit and follow the pattern as written. So it has been slow going because I was almost ready to cast off the body part when I realised I had read the pattern wrong, aaagggghhh. Soooo.....here is the corrected version! This will add more room, and fingers crossed it will fit.
Okay, I can hear you saying. "Mr. Greenjeans doesn't have a shawl collar!" That's true...but this one does. Sarah said when she had a little try on, and I took her measurements it needed a big collar, she may have been joking but I ran with the idea! I just marked where I wanted the collar to end and did a few short rows here and there. Truthfully, I hadn't a clue about the process but figured I could always rip it off if I wasn't happy!
I know I should have waited 'till the sleeves were done before adding the button bands and collar, but I was a little bored and decided I needed a wee bit of a challenge. In case you were wondering...the pins are for the button placements. So far I love everything about this cardi.
I am also working on the mystery shawl! O my God...this is gonna take forever to do! I hate to complain but we get a clue once a week and it's only about 30 rows, tops!
I did start another little shawlette, scarf thingie using one skein of sock yarn. Really I have so much sock yarn and since I haven't been knitting socks lately, this is a good way to use up some! Probably it will be a gift for someone!
Haven't I become fickle in my dotage....a bunch of projects on the needles and I can't commit to one! This could be the reason I can't get anything finished. Okay, that and http://www.ravelry.com/
Happy knitting everyone.
