Notes
  • not at all sure about my colour choices but the sunset colourway is very pretty
  • it’s been a while since I did stranded colourwork back and forth - makes me realise how easy it is in the round
  • just broke into 3rd ball to finish welt
  • PU 3/4 for button/buttonhole bands. 71sts.
  • just broke into 4th ball to finish second cuff!

Buttons on - 15mm plastic ‘smartie’ ones from stash

May 3, 2024

Have completely failed to capture the pretty pinky-red of the Sunset colourway.

Then yarn is lovely - buttery soft. But not as forgiving of my numb hands and muscle twitches as merino and it’s also hand wash only.

Probably won’t buy the yarn again.

But would certainly knit this cardi again - just using merino!
