Notes

Cardigan version - my first time trying a steek. I thought the twist nouveaux would be a sticky/rustic yarn but it’s so soft - just as soft as SW merino! I will probably have to find a sewing machine for the steek grimacing

Tried my best to find yarn colour matches for the babies heart

Waiting to steek

11-05-2024

Love the final project - but the steeking really isn’t worth the effort - spent forever w the finishing (not the pattern’s fault) I would opt to do the colourwork flat nexttime

However - glad I tried steeking once!

Collar/border yarn is leftover ‘figbash’ from voolenvine yarns

It’s extremely wearable - already thinking about knitting a third variation!
