Notes

This cardigan was an early effort of mine, it was the second I’d made from the pattern, and in a classic example of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing, I decided that I knew better than the pattern writer, and put my new-found skills of grafting to use on the shoulders (um, that seam’s there for a reason!) and compounded the problem by knitting on the back neck band to live stitches instead of casting off and sewing the band on. Predictably as soon as I put it on the whole top of the back stretched like mad and it fell off my shoulders all the time. I did persevere with it a bit, but then it ended up at the back of the cupboard, where I found it when sorting out last week. The yarn’s Silk Garden, so too nice to give away, and yesterday I steeled myself to unpick the seams (not as easy as it sounds!) and reclaim the yarn. There was also a matching beanie which I quite liked but never wore, so I pulled that out too.
