Notes

After not seeing her for a long time, my old college friend Lisa and I met up again in july. That day I was wearing my Aidez cardigan and she kind of fell in love.
So, she asked me if I could knit her a really warm and cuddly sweater with a cable pattern for winter.
Of course I can! :) And that’s how this project started.

She researched some sweaters she liked and I guided her through what is possible and what goes well together with her choice of yarn and shape of the sweater. And so we assembled a sweater for her. (she is a little bit taller than I am, so the sweater looks a bit big on me I think… the sleeves are too long for me at least ;) )

Just before Christmas we met up again and I could give her the finished sweater. She was so happy and excited! :)
Now she has something to keep her warm on her Silvester vacation in Denmark and long after that.

I had really fun knitting this sweater. I love the Andes yarn and enjoyed knitting with some bulky yarn once again. The only downside are the seams that came out very bulky as well. Next time I will try a top-down version even though I like the shape of seamed sweaters better.
