finally, aidez


Can you hear my sigh of relief in finally finishing this sweater? Can't believe that I started knitting it back in February of 2012. The reasons why it took so long seem silly now:  1) A bad case of being intimidated by cables due to a lack of experience with knitting them 2) Seams 3) Lazy note taking 4) The weather 5) Seams



Guess what? 1) The cables and seaming ended up being super easy. 2) I absolutely adore the finished sweater. 3) It's a treasure of a (free) pattern. 4) Everyone should knit one.

    I have always loved that cardigan, and now need to revisit it. Yours is gorgeous!!! Way to go, perseverance pays off. Now, to remind myself of that while working on the never ending Cable Shawl, still have 7 skeins to go.

    That's a really super gorgeous cardi. I've been bitten by the sweater bug (figures, since I need to knit a bunch of xmas gifts) and can't wait to cast one on.

    Love it! It's so different from mine and yet so similar, although I think your color is probably more practical :) glad you enjoyed the seaming and card. Cables are some of my favorite things to knit 😊

    It's soooo lovely! It looks best in this creamy oatmeal colour. It's on my list of wanna-knits-someday. Haha, I see seaming is reason no 2 and 5. It's the same for me, I kind of dread seaming but when I finally get round to it, it was actually easy.
