I finally got around to putting the finishing touches on my Daisy Melon cardigan. I probably should have pulled back the flower and remade it as the cotton used was a bit iffy but I was a bit over it so did not bother.
I kind of like the wonky look of it anyway so am keeping it for a sample unless one of my friends claims it in a hurry. The pattern was easy to follow and I learned something new. "How to make I-cords". In all my years of knitting I have never come across them in a pattern I have used. Such a simple, effective idea!
Next time also, I think I will sew the stem further in so it pulls the fronts overlapping. Hindsight is a wonderful thing hey? LOL Overall, not bad for a little project made from two small balls of gifted wool and scraps!!!!!
What a beautiful little cardi! I love the way the stem is used to make 'button' holes...and your daisy looks just fine to me...:)x
ReplyDeleteThank you Stocki. I loved the buttonholes too and the buttons are also knitted.
