As promised, here are some shots of me and the lace cardigan.
It’s meant to be worn open and doesn’t close in the front at all. It works well with jeans and a black tank top, I think, but could certainly be worn with something a little more dressy.
I just loved knitting this cardigan with a hand-dyed semi-solid yarn. It’s quite pleasing to see the variation in colour in the stockinette portion of the cardigan, and yet it doesn’t in any way detract from the lace patterning. The variation between the two skeins I used was barely visible. However, this is not always the case, so even though I didn’t do it, it’s probably a good idea to alternate skeins. Out of the four skeins of Skinny Bugga! I had to play with, three were quite similar and the fourth was visibly darker, and had I used that one I definitely would have had to alternate skeins.
On a completely different note: can you tell spring is coming? I just LOVE this time of year, when the leaves are starting to open and everything is bright green. If you look really carefully on the top picture, you can also see last years’ bright red cranberries…. I guess it wasn’t a harsh winter, so the birds didn’t eat them all.
