sweater frenzy continued
So... I finished another sweater this week!
Pattern: Liesl Cardigan, size XS
Yarn: Artfibers Kyoto, Color 23
This is a great, quick knit. I think it took me about 4 days? I decided not to put on buttons because I wanted a more loose cardigan to throw on. I also wanted a long cardigan so I blocked it longer rather than wider. The pattern is very clear, and the lace pattern is easy to memorize. I think this would be a great cardigan in a cotton yarn for summer.
The yarn is really soft and I love the color. The only downside to the yarn is that the dye came off on my hands when I was knitting (and a little on Maggie!) The water turned bright blue when I washed it as well. I'm not wearing white with this sweater until I've washed it a couple more times.
If you've been keeping track, this is my fourth sweater in a row knit in the round. I really want my next sweater to be knit in pieces to break it up a bit. We'll see what my next project will be!
