I’m making a second Breezy Cardigan. I started this back in January and it’s been set aside for many other projects, but I pick it up here and there. Since I’m finally at the bottom ribbing it feels like I’m finally getting somewhere.
The yarn is Rowan Felted Tweed in Watery and since that’s a bit heavier than fingering weight used in the pattern, I modified this a bit. I’m getting 5 stitches to the inch so I just picked the size I wanted and used a little algebra (yes, it is useful in adult life) to figure out how many stitches I needed to knit.
I might not get to use this much this season, but if I finish this soon there will probably at least be some chilly evenings when I can wear it.
By the way, my reknitting of Marin worked out well with two whole yards of yarn to spare! Yes, it was really really close. More details and pics of that project soon, when I can get Matt to take some pics of me.
Such a beautiful colour! The type of cardigan I would get so much use out of. Looks beautiful!
Okay I have this pattern and I too want to knit in a heavier yarn…….do you give algebra classes?
Love your color choice looks beautiful.
It looks really light and fabulous! Beautiful tweed. I have been considering this yarn for another project I am working on. Any tips? 🙂
I love the colour of the yarn. The colour itself is this nice jade hue, and then the “spots” give it a depth. :). Really pretty piece with great colour choice!
I love the color. What kind of dress form is that? I am looking for one and would love to know if you like it. Thanks!
Ooh it’s gorgeous and the felted tweed is really pretty.
I love your reference to algebra it made me smile. I find it useful in knitting too. I’m still yet to use trigonometry in adult life though 😊
That colour is so you. It’s going to be gorgeous.
What a beautiful color!
Look forward to seeing your new Marin! Your Breezy Cardigan looks good so far!
This is turning out great, I love the pattern and yarn choice.
I love doing crochet. 🙂 But I haven’t tried knitting tho. I would love to learn this skill. 🙂 🙂
Gorgeous cardigan! Beautiful pattern. I am a bit of a knitter myself (though not up to your standard), I recently finished a snood with a cable pattern. I love Ravely…such a great community of crafters. Thanks for sharing these lovely photos of your finished knit, very inspiring! x Isabel
oooh, look at that stunning colour! It’s going to be beautiful.
Love the colour of your yarn – it’s a beautiful cardi x x
That color is to die for! And congrats on managing two yards to spare on the Marin. That’s pretty incredible considering you almost needed that much more the first time. (I think. I’m still pretty bad at the estimation thing.)
Ps, I’ve nominated you fro the “Liebster Award” on my latest post (http://caseykayb.com/2015/03/26/the-liebster-award/). If you feel inclined to do such a thing. I know with the little one and work and being pregnant you’ve got a lot on your plate. 🙂
