backside


So far, so good on my Printed Silk Cardigan. Took a while, but the largest component is finished. Just started the sleeves which will be hours of mindless knitting. They are done entirely in K1P1 rib stitch and will take some time, too. I love the embossed diamond stitch. It took a bit for me to get the knack, but once I did, it was smooth sailing. The raised part of the stitch is a "twisted knit" and depending on which direction you knit determines which direction the stitch is slanted. Done on #3 needles, this garment will be a somewhat fine gauge and have wonderful drape.
