Notes

My cardigan-project for the Malabrigo March 2013, 01/03-31/01.

Raindrops got transformed into the french children-song “Il pleut, il mouille, c’est la fête à la grenouille!”


Swatch (blocked) : 22 st - 32 rows (pattern says 22st 31 rows). That will do. Knitted with needles 3.5mm on the RS, 3.25mm on the WS because my purlstitches are looser.
****

The pattern is well written, and easy to follow. The rosebud-pattern in the back is easy to knit and memorize. I knitted the sleeves on smaller circulars (not magic loop) and changed to DPN’s when it got too small. As the Arroyo is a semi-solid colour and the variations in colour may vary even in the same dye-bath, I alterend two skeins at the false underarm-seam to keep front opening neat and tidy. The cardigan is a bit tight, I should have made it one size bigger (next time!).
