More Melinda


I finished the back on Melinda's Textured Cardigan yesterday and have the left front underway. I'm really enjoying how this is working up... to the point I didn't mind doing that sleeve shaping on the back 3 times.

However, I'm not sure I want to do it a 4th time... and I might have to. My number of stitches didn't match the pattern. I'm going to do the fronts and decide if I need to rework the back.


The drape on this is fab... much better the original attempt (which felt heavy and stitff). Sadly, the photos have to be "dull" to show the stitch definition. The yarn is "bright white" and if it's in decent light, the white yarn overwhelms the stitches.

I have to say that I've been enjoying crocheting with this yarn (not sure I would like knitting with it. It's very stiff coming off the skein and it's super duper splitty). So much so that I've got more of it in a different color for an other crochet cardigan... ya, cause I don't have enough yarn in my house!
