Some people have asked about the yarn. It is 100% SW Merino from the Lion Brand Collection line. I bought four skeins in the Lion Brand Yarn Studio in New York City several years ago. So far, I have nothing negative to say about the yarn.
I finished a square for another Bertie's blanket. My dear friend Sam is collecting squares to eventually seam them all and then donate the lovely blanket to a hospice. You can find all the details of this special project here.
Keep your favorite beverage close and your wool closer. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
That is one pretty cardigan! It's a wonderful colour!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I really like the cardigan construction and drape. Would definitely knit it again.
DeleteWhat a beautiful cardigan, you enjoy the rest of your weekend too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tahnee. I can't wait to finish it. :-)
Deletethe cardigan looks great! I like the colors in the square you sent out. I read you can only send sock yarn, which I haven't used so far. But it really is a wonderful thing to do with unused yarn, especially when there's too little of it to make a whole project with.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen. Last year Sam was collecting both DK and Fingering weight yarn squares. Looks like this year is just sock yarn.
DeleteLove the shaping on that cardigan!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I used the "good for me" needle size...the drape is quite nice! Have a great week!
DeleteLiv looks like a really perfect casual sweater. I think the yarn suits the pattern particularly well.
ReplyDeleteOnce you are done with this sweater, do you have another planned?
I really like the gauge/drape of this cardigan. I am already thinking on the next sweater...either another Madder design or one from Hanna Fettig's Home & Away collection. What about you? What's next on the needles?
DeleteJust beautiful! I love the color and style. Can't wait to see an in action modeling shot! ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you Nicky! Modeling shot? I'm a bit camera shy :-)
DeleteThat cardigan looks so lovely Monica! Great colour. You will enjoy wearing it : )
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine! Can't wait to finish it...some cooler air would not hurt either. It is so hot here in the South :-)
