Notes

This started as my knitting-to-go on a longer trip by car.
I have used about 665 m / 175 g of each colour. Buttons are still missing.

The photo shows the cardi before washing. In the wash, it bled terribly. There was obviously too much of a brownish colour in the yarn, probably in the moss green. Now the previously white parts have become a dirty salmon pink.

I won’t buy this yarn again. It’s of course very soft, but it splits easily during knitting, and it is very loosely spun. Softness is not everything.

The pattern is clearly written, but the sleeves turned out too short. The 35 cm stated in the pattern were not enough, although I do not have particularly long arms.

All in all, this will not be my favourite cardigan.
