Notes

Who cares it’s May and I’m planning to knit not cotton but wool? Well, it snowed in Poland a couple of days ago. :-P
I love both the yarn and the cardi so much that I have to make it. Even in May :-)


Wool Of the Andes Sport seems to be too thick. After gauge swatch I’m changing the yarn to Palette (fingering).
Still I got 22 sts in 10cm, but I’ll pick M1 size then.


No modifications, but for long sleeves (9 decreases in every 10th row, instead of 7). OK, I was trying to make long sleeves - ended up with 7/8. But that’s fine.


Count the stitches whenever possible to avoid ripping. I misread the w&t instructions and had to rip half of the cardi.


The yarn: after blocking it drapes nicely and seems to go quite well with this project. But it itches just like any other wool, so bear that in mind.
