Must Have Cardigan
This is a picture of the Must Have Cardigan pattern that I am going to designate my wonderful, beautiful imported Kilcarra Donagal Tweed yarn! I need to finish a dog sweater and a sock (2nd sock syndrome) before I can allow myself to cast on. This project will be part of my 2009 NHL KAL (knit-a-long). This photograph is teeny-weeny, but has fantastic Aran knit detail and boxy shape which should suit my boxy shape. I have been told that red is a great color on me, so hopefully I will be happy with the end result!! I plan to knit the body in one piece- fronts and back, then join arms to body and do raglan decreases instead of knitting entire sleeve and setting it in. I HATE seaming up and do not like the look- too bulky and I am a crappy seamstress.

Sitcom Chic Cardigan
Color is totally off in this photograph. Will try again in better light. Love how this turned out, though. This will be a gift for Victoria for her birthday. Should look really cute on her. Made with some yarn from my stash- ball bands were missing, so no idea what yarn I used. Cotton-microfiber blend most likely. Very soft. This little cardigan took me less that two weeks to knit up and is a do-again in another yarn.
