Wollmeise Cardigan

On May 17, 2010, in cardigan, lace, by Anna

I’m still knitting away on the Wollmeise Lace-Garn Cardigan.  The body is completed and I have started on the sleeves.

I ended up frogging back the body 3 times I think.  Mainly because of small mistakes that I just didn’t find on time, and then couldn’t be fixed nicely.  And I *hate* mistakes in my knitting, so once I’ve found them I just have to fix them.  Oh well, it’s all good now.

This cardigan will be waist-length, with full length sleeves, and I’m sure that I will still have a fair amount of yarn left over.  One skein of Lace-Garn is all of 300 g and a little over 1,700 yards, so there is a lot of margin.

I’ve also made some progress on the sleeve.  Not much, but it’s coming along.  I’ve knit this part twice as well, just because I changed my mind on where to start the round, and I think this will work a lot better for multiple sizes.

My plan is to block the body in the next day or two, and then block the sleeves (after I’ve knit them, of course – getting ahead of myself a little) separately, and attach them after the fact.

Aside from the cardigan, I’ve also been working on a whole slew of different designs.  If everything pans out I will have a very busy summer ahead of me.  :-)  But it’s better to be too busy than to not have anything to do, I think.
