So, now that I’m finished with my other knitting wip’s it’s time to start a new! Will try this lovely cardigangrin

29-10-2019

Started the other day, but since it wasn’t as easy as i thought (i need a simple project wich allows me to be social:) this weekend as i am travelling). And the test i did shows that i am waaay out of gauge… will do a new tryout next weekend when i am alone instead. Worst case is that i cant use this yarn to this beatiful cardigan

Restarting it all over again, now when I’m done with the Bailey cardigan. The first challenging part is done and the gauge seems quite good after all. Can’t stop, should have done other stuff, but it’s soon fungrin This will be a knitting evening….

Progressing fastgrin. Nice clear pattern and the yarn is soo beautiful! Just can’t stop….

Body is done. Stopped at 11 inches, it will be about 60 cm in total at the back. I hope this will be a good length to tunics, dresses and shirts. Found some really nice fabric in my stash that will look great to this lovely cardigan. I will sew the “gallery tunic” with the one with the big flowers and a shortarm shirt from Sew Liberated with the small flowers as soon as I get the timegrin. The first picture is most true to colours

I really say that this yarn together with this wonderful pattern is a hit! So you were right Elizabeth!

Border round the body done today, just couldn’t stop knitting ( I really should have done a lot of other stuff….grin). I was afraid it would be a bit to small but it came out just perfect. Just the sleeves left now.

Done! Time for washing and gentle blocking. This have been a really nice and fast knit. The pattern is excellent, and makes such a beautiful cardigan!

16-12-2019

Washing (30 degrees wool in the machine) and blocking went well, a really good yarn. Had it on for the first time today. Really love this cardigan, such a wonderful well-written and well designed pattern!
