First up is project that has been a long time coming, my featherweight cardigan. Started back in December of 2010,
A top down cardigan worked in lace weight yarn on size 4 needles this is some teeny tiny yarn. I quickly lost motivation after starting it. But I picked it back up this summer knowing that I wanted to finish it as a Christmas gift for my mom.
It became my constant companion and I was able to plow through it fairly quickly once I focused on it. I waited until right before Christmas to block it out and I was so pleased with how great it looked once it got a little bath.
I am very happy to report that it fits my mom like a dream. I'm waiting until it gets a little warmer to snap a few photos of her wearing it.
Oooo, it's so purdy! I've always wanted to knit a featherweight.... but yeah, have always been scared off by the tiny yarn and needles!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I have dreams of my own dancing through my head. But in a fingering weight at least!
DeleteI bet Nell looks gorgeous in that! The color is so perfect for her. Good job, Lily; it's beautiful.
ReplyDelete...now I feel inspired to make one. *adds to rav queue*
Thanks Emily! I picked it out with her in mind.
DeleteWow--that's an ambitious gift! Very pretty :)
ReplyDeleteHa. it was! that's probably why it took me two years to finish.
