So I've seen a pattern for a cardigan that I rather like the look of - it's even the sort of thing I'd want to wear! It's a Paul Smith cardigan knit pattern.
Of course I'm not intending to do it quite the way it is described in the pattern. I do not want to use the suggested wool. I want to wear this in the winter when I go to the land of cold and snow (Norway) soI want to do this in Alpaca wool. I knitted some handwarmers and just loved the feel of the wool. I used a brand called Garnstudio - which I bought in Norway. But fret not . . . you can get the brand here (Norwegian wool in the UK!).
I realise the tension is totally different, but that cannot be so difficult to figure out - can it?
Now I am not allowed to start on this (but I might buy the wool) till I am finished with the sock of doom and the blue stripey cardigan (long or short sleeves, long or short hmmmmm).

not the sock of doom!!! my mother is an accomplished knitter and she is always flummoxed by the sock. you brave brave woman.
ReplyDeleteI think this sock was designed in Mordor possibly it is an agent of Sauron.
ReplyDeleteHowever all may be well as I have the ancient spellbook of håndarbeide (klasse 3e) handed down from my mother. With this ancient tome of wisdom I will conquer all socks!!!
