Notes

I saw this yarn on sale at Webs, and had to get it. I really like the color, it’s a nice shade, not too purple.

22 Jan- Cast on. Yarn is very soft, maybe a litle too fuzzy. Am a little concerned about the drape of the cardigan, but I really, realy want to knit the effortless, so I’m going to keep going.

24 Jan- made it all the way to where you divide the sleeve stitches from the body. Looking good. Spoke to a fellow knitter to ask how she feels about the yarn and its use in this project, she’s really happy with hers, so I feel better.

8 Feb- ok, so I have made good progress. The body is finished, no issues, it’s very dtraightforward, I mean stockinette, right? Except for maybe my little blunder in joining one ball of yarn to another…knot untying and all…but it’s fixed anyway.
Now I am on to sleeves, first one done till about the elbow.

13 Feb- Knocked on my behind by a pretty bad cold. Finished first sleeve though, onto the second.

19 Feb- OMG, I finished. Blocking right now, can’t wait to photograph it this weekend

19 Mar- I cannot believe it took me a month to photograph this thing! I’ve worn it a few times and I really like it. However because of the Mohair component , it sheds a little, and there’s been some piling. Maybe this was not the perfect choice of yarn for this project after all.
But it knits up beautifully and the color is great!
