In Progress: A cardigan and some more

Liv only needs a front band to be an official finished object! I am pretty happy with this cardigan; it looks nice and fits well. Project page: here.



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.

  3. the 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.

    1. Thanks Karen. Last year Sam was collecting both DK and Fingering weight yarn squares. Looks like this year is just sock yarn.

  5. Liv looks like a really perfect casual sweater. I think the yarn suits the pattern particularly well.

    Once you are done with this sweater, do you have another planned?

    1. 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?
