Cropped Cardi done
Isn't she nice? An easy little project despite my many vacations from knitting over the past month. This was the first time I used an applied i-cord to finish a neck line and I quite like how it turned out.
All in all, a good easy project, my second from fitted knits (and my
third sweater ever). I'm looking forward to my next project from the
book, the drop stitch lace tank which I swatched last night.
As did Stephanie, I used Lion Brand Cotton Ease in Lime to knit this one up. It should be a good easy addition to the summer wardrobe.
Knitted as specified, at gauge, for 34 1/2 " size; the size seems good. Modifications include knitting sleeves in the round, leaving leaves off ties, and doing a 3 stich i-cord along the front sides to give them a bit more heft and to prevent curling. One minor error in stich count in pattern, but this is at the end of the body and doesn't affect any work.
For those of you who want a good laugh, I posted some "fab" shots of me modeling said sweater on my blog. Be prepared for fun and frivolity.
That looks FANTASTIC!!!!!!! Wanna make me one - jk
