Notes

26.09.2017:
Only the buttons missing yet. Could not find the right colour .
I am pretty satisfied if not very satisfied with the outcome!

23.09.2017:
Pockets done. Blocking done.
Now stitching pockets to cardi and weave in ends and buy buttons and sew them on.

This will take forever…. I know …. I am somewhat lazy when it comes to the sewing. And the pockets will be sewn on with a knit-stitch… so…

I wanted a cardi that fits my summer dress.
I think the fabric and the fact that the pockets are checkered like a tartan fits well together.
I took the tartan pattern from Judy Furlong’s Balmoral.

*** The name of the project is simply the title of the book I am reading while starting this: What I loved form Siri Hustvedt ***
