This is what it used to be:
(From Debbie Bliss "Cashmerino DK" collection, 2006) I loved knitting with this yarn, since it's very soft and feels nice, but somehow this cardigan turned out too tight (when buttoned up, it really didn't look that nice on me) and the collar didn't stay in it's place too well. So not much wearing time for this one - better to recycle then! So yesterday I frogged and frogged, and then soaked with Soak, and now the yarn is drying up, ready to be re-wound again.
This is what it's going to be in it's next life:
(Phildar / Autumn '08, "Gilet" wrap-around sweater) I like the shape and simplicity of this design - and the idea that you can wear a long-sleeved tee under it, varying the effect of the knit with different coloured shirts. It's not such a heavy sweatery kind of knit, but more of a vest - still warm, though.
But hey, first things first - I need to finish 'Little Birds' before starting this one... I promise I will..
