Kidsilk Haze is notoriously difficult to unravel, and it took me a long time to pluck up the courage to fix the mistake. In the end, the combo of these two yarns wasn’t hard to unravel at all.
So, was this project a waste of time? All I’ll say is that for me, knitting big panels of stocking stitch in these two lightweight yarns was like meditating. For the rest I’ll let the pictures speak.
Now that I’m taking up sewing again and am looking for suitable projects to make, I find descriptions on other maker’s blogs very helpful. And also pictures of the finished items worn by ordinary people (not photo models.) I hope my descriptions and pictures will be helpful in the same way.
Your cardigan is absolutely lovely and certainly no waste of time but I can’t help smiling at Walker’s opinion. I love the look of stocking stitch but find it immensely boring to do. I usually solve the problem by sneaking in a lace panel or two just to keep me awake.
I used to wonder about stocking/ stockinette. Thanks for the explanation!
Walker makes me smile, too. I think she is a wonderfully spirited person and her Treasuries of Knitting Patterns are a huge source of inspiration. Thanks for your visit!
Not a waste of time at all – like a knitted hug!
That is such a sweet description – Thanks!
I love your newly finished cardigan, including the fact that it is done in stockinette stitch!
I especially like the sloping shoulders, and the fact that it is oversized.
Thank you for modeling your finished product! It looks so well on you, Marijke!
That’s very kind, thank you. Finding a comfy oversized cardigan that is not going to sag isn’t easy, but I’m fairly confident that this light and airy one will keep its shape.
