I absolutely love it!!
I am one of the few people in the office who is not complaining about the air-conditioning! My Gloss and Shimmer combination is warm and soft!
What I don't understand is why it took so long for me to finish something that I truly enjoyed knitting and appreciated the design. When I saw Alison's design, I was so enthusiastic that I started a Classic Lines Cardigan Knit-A-Long. I knit along quite nicely, finished my body, finished my sleeves, joined body and sleeves and then......just......slowed.......down.
Once I finally secured the steek with Kerin's wonderful backward stitch method and then cut the steek during a staff meeting (how's that for a blase attitude) I was back on course. A fake button band (no button holes), and it was finished!!!
Jun 27, 2010 at 12:07 PM Kelley, This sweater is absolutely beautiful, but the steeking absolutely terrifies me. I don't sew at all, except buttons and the occasional hem. I would love to make this sweater on 2 needles -- is the pattern adaptable?
Jun 25, 2010 at 8:08 PM Hi Kelley. I just wanted to tell you how very nice your new cardi looks on you. And I am thankful for Knit Picks site to help feed my knit-diction.lol Thanks again.
Jun 25, 2010 at 2:06 PM Hi Kelley, your cardi looks lovely. What size did you knit? I need a 52" finished chest and was wondering if you thought using a larger needle with this type yarn will be tolerated by the pattern to give me the increase in gage needed. Thank you and congrats on finishing your project. Erika
Jun 24, 2010 at 5:42 PM Kelley: Congratulations! It looks wonderful! I know you'll enjoy yours as much as I do mine! Wear it in good health! Happy knitting, spinning, dyeing...
Jun 24, 2010 at 4:45 PM Kelley, what size did you knit? I have the yarn in my stash so maybe soon I will cast on. You sweater is beautiful.
Jun 23, 2010 at 6:34 PM Kelly, It is gorgeous. Makesme want to cast on immediately! I was actually thinking of using 1 strand of palette and one strand of lace weight yarn for the multi color accent. Bayou is my choice for that. Any suggestions for which palette color should be used??? Your CliC is very pretty on you. Nice color combo.
Jun 23, 2010 at 5:23 PM Did you add neck shaping? I love this sweater, but I don't like the neck 'as-is'. Do you have your mods posted somewhere?
Jun 23, 2010 at 9:20 AM Kelley, Lovely! The colors are wondferul. Steeks - - how brave!
Jun 23, 2010 at 8:36 AM It's absolutely beautiful!
Jun 23, 2010 at 7:15 AM Kelley, That is beautiful! It's good to know that even very experienced knitters get totally side tracked. Now you can understand how we all feel at times. Love the color, too. Congrats on finishing and now wearing your CLiC.
Jun 23, 2010 at 4:25 AM Congratulations Kelly!! It looks wonderful on you--and cozy in front of the roaring AC!! We all get side tracked onto other projects occasionally, but it's a real accomplishment to finish up strong!!
Jun 22, 2010 at 7:44 PM It came out great! I love the color. OK I so need to get back to my CLiC.
Jun 22, 2010 at 6:43 PM Kelley, I love it!! I was just contemplating a cardigan for my next project yesterday and after reading your blog and seeing the new kits, I may just do it!
