I had a little helper when I was photographing the yarn to put on ravelry, she was determined her little paws needed to be in the picture too. The yarn is Cascade 220 superwash in the Emerald City colourway. It's more green than it's come out here. I should probably have photographed it outside but it's cold and I'm lazy so meh...!
I'm knitting it into a cardigan using the Annabel pattern by Georgie Hallam. I'm making the hoodless version which mean I started with this pretty stitch pattern. It's fairly simple to work but a bit fiddly. It's a nice little detail that appears throughout the cardigan.
As you can see I'm doing the raglan increases at the moment. Nice and straight forward knitting :-)
I was playing around with my camera and got some nice photos of the bunch of peruvian lillies Mr Soaring Sheep bought for me. They're such pretty flowers and as the window sill is quite cold they're lasting well too
I'm going to go back to my knitting now. I could be doing something more useful but I'm enjoying it so hey ho lol
That is such a pretty detail to begin a cardigan with!!! Love the color of the wool too!
ReplyDeletelove your new knitting project, a lovely shade of blue, so rich!! and your flowers are so pretty a burst of spring!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun edging! Looking forward to seeing more of this sweater :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful new wip! Love the colorway! Lovely flowers!
ReplyDeleteI love Cascade 220. Wonderful yarn! And you chose one of my favorite colors. Such beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteI've got a really thing for greens at the moment. I'm normally a purple lover but greens are what I'm drawn to at the moment
DeleteBeautiful pattern, it will be gorgeous when done.
ReplyDeleteCascade 220 Superwash is a good workhorse yarn. I use it a lot also. I like having these glimpses of this new cardigan.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've used it. I've used the non-superwash version a lot but fancied giving this one a try. I'll probably still handwash it though, too much of a wuss to put wool in the washing machine :-S
DeleteI love the details on the sweater. And such cute hands!
