I’m getting closer to a finished sweater here. I have half a sleeve left to knit, and decided to block the other finished pieces this morning so I’m ready to start assembling.
This is the Mine Hill Cardigan, I’m knitting it up in John Arbon’s Appledore yarn, which is just gorgeous. Those photos show it mostly as grey, but it is a lovely light grey-blue heather color.
Here is the pattern photo so you can see what it will look like. I’m doing the sleeves longer, but otherwise it’s knit as written. Oh, and no pockets. This is a rather light, drapey yarn, and I think pockets would just be saggy. Saggy pockets are worse than no pockets.
That front band will take a little time, but I should have a finished sweater to wear soon! Here’s the other sleeve in progress.
That yarn is really beautiful. You’ve mentioned the John Arbon yarn before; do you buy it on line from the UK or is there a local supplier? Nice pattern too, but I sincerely doubt I would ever have the patience for that front band!
I have yet to try a seamed garment. Yours looks beautiful. What a great pattern.
I was not familiar with Appledore yarns so I went to their website. The subtle tweedy colors are lovely!
