On and off the needles




I finished my sweater the other day and got it blocked.  It stretched some.  I could wear it with leggings around the house next fall because I will never wear leggings outside my house.  It is interesting that you can see the way the increases lined up on the back.  The pattern has increases every 6 rows on the front then a decrease in the sides then a right and left increase in the back giving it a little flare.  Then there were short rows to make the back longer than the front.  I really like the fit and feel of this cardigan link to the pattern the yarn is Zauberball by Schoppel Wolle.  Linking to Judy's OTN  --Ann--

  3. Your sweater turned out wonderful. I love the fall colors and the fit looks very good on you. I too am not a leggings lover even though I feel I could get by with it better than some of the younger folks who wear them. I wear them under my jeans in the winter sometimes as an added layer of warmth when it snows and I have to be outside in it for a time. :) Congrats on such a beautiful finish.
