Dandelion Cardigan

 The Back.

 The Back and one pocket lining.

One side of the front, the left front, I think. I decided to add some cabling up either side. This will be a ladies' medium-ish cardigan. I'm using cotton yarn. Scrumptious and machine washable!

Men's Green Cardigan

I've finished the right front and now I'm working on the left front. Knitting in the pockets and finishing the pocketbands, sewing them in place as I go, since that sort of finishing work is my least favorite part of sweater making.

Green Cabled Cardigan

Here is the back and two pocket linings. I love the cable stitches. I think it's going to be a very handsome cardigan.

Green Cardigan

I bought some acrylic yarn for this mens sweater. I think wool feels very nice and luxurious, but it is a little fussy when it comes to washing. This acrylic yarn is such a pretty shade of green, I thought it would make a lovely, easy care cardigan. I am trying out a new vintage pattern that features cables. I think the acrylic yarn will keep the cable stitches nicely defined. The ribbing for the back hem is on the needles, so away we go!

On the Needles

I am working through some yarn my mother gave me. I picked a cable pattern and just knit and knit and knit. Until I had this very long and warm wrap. It's big enough for two! Cozy up with your honey and watch a scary movie! See the whole thing here!

Brown Cabled Scarf

Here is the finished cabled scarf in chestnut wool. And some details of the cables.

Purple Cabled Sweater

I have a few skeins of this purple yarn. I am making a cabled sweater size 2-3. I was inspired by a vintage pattern. I like the simple look of vintage knits, but I didn't take the pattern directly. I found the pattern to be incorrect! I guess there were typos even in the fifties! But I took a look at the picture and got the gist of it, so I wrote little instructions for myself, for this simple cabled sweater. This is the back.

Matthew really liked the color of this yarn and I was going to make something for him, but I just didn't have enough purple yarn! I promised to make him something else, later.
