Notes

Today I met Eddie Izzard and I was wearing my Shalom!!!!!

I decided I wanted to finish it this week, so I decided I would finish it to wear today in case I got to meet Eddie Izzard and get my picture taken with him. I did meet him, I was wearing my Shalom, and technically, there is a picture of me and Eddie Izzard is also in it.

The cardigan was really easy and really fast to knit up and Mirasol Sulka is a really cozy, warm yarn. It’s the perfect yarn for this project because it’s so warm, you don’t need a cardigan that buttons all the way down or has long sleeves to keep you warm. I actually over heated whilst wearing it. Granted, this was right after meeting Eddie Izzard, so it was probably less to do with the cardigan and more to do with Eddie Izzard, but still.

I also did a single crochet at the armpit to give it a more finished look and to help keep the edge from curling so much.
