Lovely Lush and Lacy Cardigan
March 22, 2011
Here's a lovely finished #70 Lush and Lace Cardigan from knitter, Mimi F. She followed the pattern as is, but used a very pretty lilac shade of Debbie Bliss yarn. Great drape and fit!
Hi "Katherine, I'm so excited that you like your design! I only knit one, as it's the same sweater in all the photos. Yarn [I used] was Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk Aran, and somehow I used 10 skeins in lavender.
The pattern was so beautiful, and I really enjoyed knitting it. Only tip would be to pay attention to placement of the front pockets, as mine are slightly askew.
I love your patterns and totally look forward to knitting more of them over the years. Thanks again."-- Mimi F, Oakland, CA
