It's a Production Line


Having made six cardigans, somehow I couldn't help making a seventh.  This time I have been slightly caught out by the maths.  I have made the cardigan in three sizes so far, so I made this one in the next size up.  However, not only have I scaled up the size of the cardigan, but also the slight dip at the back of the neck has been exaggerated.  I know what I need to do to correct it.  It just means I shall have to knit another.  Not yet, though.  


As always, choosing the buttons was a great pleasure.  These pale aqua buttons are just the ticket.

  1. I bet your "error" is only noticeable to you. The sweater is lovely.

    1. Thanks Jacqueline.

      I'm debating which would be quicker and easier - knitting another or drafting the adjustment on graph paper. Knowing my maths, the former.

      It's not quite finished yet, but it will be soon.

      I have heard that socks can be addictive. I've never got further than gazing at the yarn in the shops.
