Notes

I love this. I’m not sure why it took me so long to knit as it’s really quite easy, but the finished cardigan is wonderful. Again, thank you Norah for a unusual beautiful garment.

I made no modifications other than knit all the brioche stitch flat as I could not get my in-the-round gauge to match my flat gauge. I started knitting in the round at the garter stitch border, decreasing on each side of the join to give myself a selvedge stitch to sew up afterwards.

I am allergic to alpaca and I struggle to find substitute yarns with similar drape, however Daintree from Skein is proving to work a treat. I felt like it was getting a bit fluffy as I was knitting it, but after a good soak and a light steam the fabric is slightly lustrous and very soft. Thank you Kristen!

OK, now all we need is some summer so that I can wear it…
