Home again, home again, jiggety, jig

Hi. How was your summer? I took some time off at my northern ontario cabin. Read lots of books, swam a little bit, kayaked and generally took it easy. I hope your summer has been good too.

I did do some knitting.

My 6×6 Cardigan is finished. OK, you might notice it’s not quite finished. I need to sew on the buttons and sew in the ends. Argh, my least favourite part of the whole enterprise. But today I bought buttons so that’s progress. And I went to a knit night and spent my time sewing in the ends. Look at me, being a knitting Adult!

I have made progress on my purple lacey version too. Since this is a bigger size I decided to try something different to extend the raglan lines after the divide row. I’m calling this “fading the raglan lines”.

I think this is going to work. I also have incorporated extra decreases down the sides to take away the extra bust increases I had added earlier. You can also see that I worked some increases for hip shaping too.

I’m so excited to be so close to the bottom of the body. Yay. Next the sleeves. That will involve several evening of tv watching. Moving along. Fall and sweater season is near.

Cheers, Deb

I'm a Knitter. The capital K means every day, everywhere. I started designing as co-owner of Cabin Fever with my sister Lyn. We have published over 160 patterns and 11 books. I'm also working on a new set of patterns for Any Gauge or Gauge-free knitting so you can dive into your stash and cast on for a Top Down sweater that fits, or an accessory to use up those odd balls of yarn.

  3. Your sweaters look great, like how the side piece looks with increases to allow for the bust for I have wide shoulder area and small waist, hour glass shape and always like the cable, great work
