Notes

A knit kit for my mother : 8 skeins of Knitpicks Palette yarn and a Walpole pattern translated to french.
About 6 months later, the lovely chicory-blue cardigan is worn!

The pattern is clear and easy despite its unordinary stitches.
Two details will be changed on the next Walpole:
-The sleeves are a bit too wide, next version will have narrower sleeves.
-Fronts aren’t wide enough to wrap up in the cardigan!

Yarn is quite soft and pleasant-wearing. Too sad that Knitpicks doesn’t deliver in Europe, I would love to see the gigantic palette of colors and chose one for my next Walpole - me-made this time!
