Knitting: Windsor Cardi

Here's my finished Windsor Cardi. This was knit using the recommended yarn, Rowan's Wool Cotton. I can already tell that I'l be getting a lot of wear with this sweater. It's warm without being too terribly hot. Aside from the sleeves, it was knit in one piece and that there was virtually no seaming to do. The only mods I made were to use a smaller button (seven-eighths versus one and a half inches) and make the body length just a tiny bit longer. The lace pattern was easy to memorize after a while, so the knitting went by pretty fast. I love it!

Almost a Sweater

My cardi was finished blocking yesterday, so I was able to graft the underarm stitches to the body. All I need to do now is knit on the buttonband and sew on the buttons!
