Apart from the scarves, I also have another new project on the needles. It’s the Sesame cardigan from MagKnits, which I have been planning to make for a long time.
This would be my first adult-sized cardigan ever. Hope I can persevere through it! I like the look of the cardigan, and it looks like something I can wear every day (in cold weather of course), so I really want to see the final product.
The original pattern is striped, but I’m doing mine in solid colour, using Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed in ‘Spring’. Or, rather, I was going to do it all in solid colour, and then I thought about making it a bit more interesting, so I added some fair-isle. The fair-isle pattern is not my design, it’s actually part of this Onslow Vest pattern. I’ve always wanted to knit something with fair-isle, and this one looks really nice to me. (I have tried the fair-isle technique before, when I made this hooded poncho for Annette. But I wanted to try something that looks more ‘traditional’, like those Scandinavian fair-isle garments. Maybe I’ll even try steeking one day 🙂 )
