The pattern was well written and fun. I did the sleeves in rounds to avoid seams. The yarn was all leftover acrylic DK, the main color being the same as my last project, Joined cable cardigan for my son. Using DK with 3.75 mm needles gave me a 2- years size, so it will nicely fit my daughter. She is having her nap right now so she could not model the sweater.
Now I have to rush with my next ravelympics projects as these are for my cousins' baby son, who is having his Aqeeqah on Thursday.(Aqeeqah is the tradtional Islamic way of celebrating a baby's arrival with the sacrifice of one or two goats/sheep and inviting the relatives and poor to dine on food made with the meat). I am hoping to have the projects finished by that time (though it is a long shot) so I can gift those to the new mom on the occassion.
Wow - your fingers must have been flying! Very nice cardigan, as usual you did an amazing job!
ReplyDeleteThat was fast! It's a great pattern, and I'm sure she's going to look lovely in it. I remember the days of naps. . . sigh. Good luck on #2.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely cardigan! You are a very fast knitter, and I won't be surprised if your next gift is ready in time for the celebration :)
ReplyDeleteWill look forward to seeing it in a blog post!
It came out really well and I'm sure your sister will love whatever your next project is.
ReplyDeleteI never do color work because the quickly accumulating stitches needing to be weaved in make my nerves bad.
So cute! And so fast!
ReplyDeleteVery nice to see you are also knitting during the OS.What a fresh little cardigan you have made.
ReplyDeleteHave a creative time.
