After a couple of weeks of sometimes reluctant knitting, I have finally managed to finish CeCe. I had started this in April and lost interest in it during the summer. This turned out to be a tricky pattern for me. I had selected the size with 2 inches of negative ease but it still turned out too loose (four inches!). I think the problem might be that the pattern gives gauge in st st while the cardigan itself is lace. I still love the lace pattern. And though far from perfect it is wearable and finally off the needles :)

The fact that it is off the needles is the biggest relief of all! Even though it is large, perhaps it will keep you warm and comfy. It looks great! I love the color.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great lace pattern and a lovely blue yarn.

That one is on my list, too, so I am glad to have your insights to draw on when I eventually work on it.

ReplyDeleteI am so glad that I found you :) I am a huge fan of crocheting. I am also looking forward to knitting but at the moment crocheting is keeping me busy :) I am also from Pakistan. I live in Karachi.
Loved your work and one day I also dream of becoming a designer or at least share my passion with others on a blog.
