honeycomb cardigan
Monday, February 09, 2009
Well, after much stretching, I can fit into my honeycomb cardigan. When I first put it on I like it, and actually think it fits fine.
See, not too tight across the back.
However, after I have it on for a while, (a minute or two) it pulls across the chest. Mistake #1: since I raised the neckline, I should have also added more buttons. Darn. But, I figure that I don't always have to wear it buttoned.
And if I want to wear it buttoned? Presto. Cover it with a scarf.
All in all, I really like this cardigan and am sure it will get a lot of wear. I prefer sweaters that can be worn as a coat.
Pattern: Moorland Honeycomb Cardigan
Size: Small (Mistake #2, should have made a Medium)
Yarn: 9 balls Moorland 2576, bark by Classic Elite
Needle: Size US 6
Modifications: I actually did a few and will post them on ravelry. If you are not on there and are interested in my modifications, I can let you know through e-mail.
And for those of you who think that I should just go ahead and give this to my sister, I would if I could. However, a much smaller sister also has much shorter arms. :)
Enjoy your day!
