Cropped Cardigan Redux Finished!!!

Finally, the simple, quick Cropped Cardigan Redux in done! Here's the project info:

• Pattern: Paton's Canadian Living (they don't name their patterns).


• Yarn: Elann's Peruvian Pure Alpaca


• problem with pattern: none that I found (second time knitting it, so didn't spend as much time reading the directions...)


• changes to the pattern: I added a moss stitch filler to the center of the main cable section. Used alpaca instead of wool.


• notes: this is the second time I've knit this sweater. I made it years ago, while at my heaviest. I wore it a lot, but it's not a flattering fit any more. Decided to do an other one.

Overall, I'm very happy with it. The alpaca makes for a lovely, soft drapy fabric and I got much better stitch definition than I expected (bonus). I probably made one size too small, but since I rarely button it, it's fine. Special thanks goes out to Tori who provided me with a gift certificate to Elann as a thank you for some yarn I sent her.

Yesterday I started a webring for the FLAK. It did take up a lot more of my day than I expected, but it's sooo nice to jump from blog to blog to see everyone's swatches and saddles! So, here's my obligatory FLAK picture (yes, the saddles are close, but not quite done... between the ring management and finishing up the Cropped Cardy Redux and a little... well maybe a lot... of Ratchet and Clank, I didn't quite finish them. It's first on my list today).



So I can now check one project off my list... that means I get to start 3 more, right?????
