I cannot believe I waited forever to stitch this baby together! I guess I was a bit busy ;-)
Pattern: Minimalist Cardigan, Fall 07 IK (Rav Link)
Yarn: Foxfire Fiber, Cormo Silk, about 6 hanks
Needles: US 7 Circs
I started this cardigan last October - I had dreamed it up to be something I would wear in the winter but it got a little sidetracked with what else, that big ol' Wedding I was planning. I haven't fully blocked it out yet but I love the fit so far!
The yarn is a dream. I remember picking it up in Rhineback a few years ago. It was was (and I know you won't believe me) my first and ONLY time going! Somehow each October that weekend is filled with an event I have to go to, so sadly I haven't been back and have been envious of all those who have since. I do remember when I bought the yarn, browsing some other booths and running into none other than Janurary One Cara, herself! I remember being so excited to meet her and she wanted to see what yarn I had bought and exclaimed at seeing how many hanks of the Cormo that were in my unassuming bag. I had no idea what she was so excited about - but BOY do I now!
The pattern itself is pretty wonderful too. I guess people out there already know that since there is about 350+ of these on Ravelry. There's something comforting to me about the moss stitch. If I could I would moss stitch everything!
Yea! A finished knit! I was so excited about this last night I just had to get some shots and wouldn't you know my bathroom has some pretty good lighting!! Hah! Anyway, I'm off to Boston this weekend for a friend's wedding! I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
Wow, that is beautiful! I love the color!

I love that color. If you ask me, there isn't enough orange in the world. The look of moss stitch is phenomenal when you consider how simple it is, but I hate doing it. If I knit left-handed with more ease it might be a different story. Congratulations on a FO!

Congratulations on finishing such a beautiful and wearable sweater! You may have inspired me to knit one of my own. Now, what I would really like to know is... where did you get that fantastic white shirt you're wearing? Please, please tell.

It's super fabulous! I absolutely love it!

that is a great style and I love the colour - burnt orange/cinnamon - reminds me of mulled wine (it's winter here)!! And I really like the top underneath it - does it have arms or is it a singlet? :)
