I finished this a while ago - remember when I was knitting the sleeves this fall? I'm so glad I kept knitting, this is one of the best things I've ever made. The yarn was custom dyed for me by my friend Angelika. I love the colors she uses and I had seen a sock yarn she had in these exact colors. However, I wanted the cardigan to have stripes so she dyed the yarn to have long color repeats. It's green led lights amazing. The yarn is a wool, bamboo and silk mix. It's warm and soft and just a little bit shiny from the bamboo and silk. I finished this cardigan before long - remember that I was knitting the sleeves fall? I'm green led lights so glad that I continued to knit, I think is one of the best things I knit. The thread was custom made by my friend Angelica. I love the colors and puts'd seen sometime a thread socks in those exact colors. But, like the cardigan has stripes, so I dyed thread, to have each color greatest iterations. It's incredible. green led lights The yarn is wool, bamboo and silk. It is warm and soft and shiny bit of bamboo and silk. This started out as a Featherweight, although I made many changes. Longer body. Extra long sleeves. Wider band with buttonholes and buttons. I also started out with a provisional cast on. I do not know if I prefer the stretch from having the continuous fabric at that point or if the cardigan would have benefited from the extra stability of a "seam" that a regular cast on would give. I certainly like the result here though. I used Jeny's surprisingly stretchy bind off from Knitty for the ribbing on the body and sleeves. I think this was the first time I used it, since I do not knit my socks toe up. Amazing! Have you tried this bind off technique? green led lights Do you use it for other things too, other than ribbing? It started as Featherweight, although I did a lot of changes. More long. Very long sleeves. Wider track around, with buttonholes and buttons. I looked also at the beginning points to another thread, so then when the lift, to create an invisible transition with continuous fabric. I do not know if eventually a traditional technique felling of points, green led lights with the stability that would, like "seam", if that will somehow help knit. But definitely I like here the result. For rubber, closed points green led lights on the edge with the technique "Jeny's surprisingly stretchy bind off" green led lights (excessively elastic closure Jeny) from the online magazine Knitty. I think this was the first time I used it as a technique, since they intertwine and socks from the bottom up (recommend green led lights it especially for socks, not to tighten the closure on the calf). It is incredible! Have you tried this technique? You've put anywhere else, other than rubber? I think I'd green led lights like to make another Featherweight, like the one in the pattern. green led lights Short and with shorter sleeves. It's a different style though and I'm really happy I made this one longer. For so many things, I've made short sleeves. It's worth it to keep going, even when the sleeves get boring. Do you knit short sleeves a lot too? I would like to build another green led lights Featherweight, as in the drawing. green led lights Short and short sleeves. It is another style though and I am glad that I did longest. For many things, I knit short sleeves. It continues even when the sleeves are boring. You knit many things with short sleeves?
