Notes

Crispy Baskerville Dark DK Nebulous against the silky glow of Islington fingering Padparadscha. This Baskerville is the dark version with more Gotland so slightly crunchy, while the Islington is slinky and smooth. So perfect together in brioche! Magic. sparkles

My rush before Unravel made for a silly mistake on one sleeve of my Linus Cardigan that needed fixing before @edinyarnfest. Another reason I should always knit both sleeves together!

Luckily it was a quick fix and now just weaving in ends. Phew! Silly. sweat_smile

Knit to 38 cm under arm before doing ribbing.

Decreased sleeves to 51sts
