Notes

So… Let’s start with the pros :

  • I bought the book just for this pattern !
  • Fairly quick to knit, I even got through the 2nd sleeve in a single sleepless night.
  • The yarn is extra-warm
  • I Love this kind of “woven” cable

Now, the cons :

  • It simply didn’t fit. I wanted it with almost no positive ease, so I knit my size (XL), but the cardigan just didn’t look good on me.

Thankfully, my coworker liked it ! :) She’s a size M, so it had plenty of positive ease and it looks really nice on her (she’s modeling on the pics you see on the right). Oh and just so you know… She also happens to be the mother of the Lil’Sailor ;)
