Weekend
I felt guilty about not showing a better photo of the wrap cardigan progress, so I took the stitches off my needles and took these shots.
The fabric behind the sweater is what I'm using for the fabric panel for the sweater. I'm not sure who will be the recipient yet, as I have a few friends having babies in the upcoming months, so I wanted it to be gender-neutral.
But this beauty has been spoken for.
This is my second attempt at testing my sewing skills, and I totally ripped off Whispering Pines, but you must agree it's worth stealing.
All in all, not too difficult, except I had a tough time with those ties, and the inside of the outfit looks like hell, but the outfit is so adorable, I'm in the process of sewing another one for A.K.'s new niece! (I guess she's my new niece too, but she's the first grandchild on his side of the family, so I'll let him have the glory.)
Also as another shoutout to A.K., the table that has all my crap on it, is a table we got from Craigslist for FREE! It needed a lot of TLC, which A.K. did! It looks fabulous, despite my crap being all over it.
So to treat ourselves for jobs well done, A.K. and I went snowboarding on Saturday, since it seems like it's our last chance before the season is over.
Because apparently spring is making it's way to Seattle.

This sweater looks great!
Hey I just discovered your blog while searching on Revelry. I am currently in the middle of working on 6.5st pattern for the wrap cardigan and I was going to ask you a quick question if I could.
in the paragraph titled MAIN BODY: it says about five rows in "separately cast on 64st..." is this asking me to work these stitches on another set of needles? I am not sure why I am having a problem with the pattern at this point but I am at a bit of an impasse.
thank you for your time.
