Another AW: New Cardigan

I don't want to bombard you guys with too many knitting posts, but I really really love the way this one turned out and had to show it off:

I knit it in a very fine alpaca yarn, so it'll be great as a 3-season sweater.  I love summer, but I'm kind of looking forward to the temperature dropping so I can show off my projects again!

    Beautiful design!!!!

    Isn't it?  The design isn't mine--but it would be a lie to say it wasn't difficult to execute.  The shoulder decreases were really tough with the complicated lace.  Totally worth it, though. Smile

  • Wow!! That is beautiful. You are so talented. Do you have an Etsy shop? I (and tons of other people) would pay big bucks for a piece like that. Keep up the great work.

     I do, actually!  There's a link in my blog (which is linked in my siggy).  I don't sell anything near this complicated, though.  If I had unlimited time, sure, but this sweater took about a month to knit.  I didn't keep track of the hours because it was for me, but I would have to charge some big bucks for it to make it worth my while.  I really prefer selfish knitting.

    I don't blame you! If I could knit like that I would be a selfish knitter, too! 

    I love your hat/bootie sets! Are you planning to do any in a Fall weight fabric?  Or is the cotton/linen blend warmer than I am imagining?

    The cotton's pretty thick, so it would be warm, but maybe once September hits, I can start making some in a washable merino instead.  It's soft--so it doesn't irritate sensitive skin and you can toss it in the wash.  And then maybe some harvest-y fruits and veggies, like pumpkins and the like.

    Please do pumpkins! I would love a little pumpkin ensemble for Liam to wear for Thanksgiving!!

  • Also...(sorry, got excited about cute pumpkin gear) the cardigan is absolutely beautiful. I'm so jealous of your talent and patience!

    Lol, that's okay!  I added some "pumpkin spice" yarn to my queue.  My current commission project (a stranded leopard print vest) should finance a whole bunch of new baby projects.
