I finished my Comfort Fade Cardi last Thursday.
And the back:
I knit this from Miss Babs’ Kaweah DK weight merino wool, in the Parchment, Old Gold, Petrified Forest, and Espresso colorways.
I rate this project “meh” for a couple of reasons.
First, I don’t like the transition between the first two colors, but that is one of the perils of purchasing yarn online, not seeing the colors in person.
Second, (and this is my own fault) it is huge. I could invite a couple of friends in with me and have a party. I definitely should have gone down a couple of sizes.
On the plus side, it is going to lovely and warm come winter. The yarn is very soft and the deep shawl collar feels wonderful.
Onward.
In the cooments for my last blog post there was a question about how I store my knits. I do have a cedar chest, and that holds several Dale of Norway and Alice Starmore fair isles. I also have a walk-in closet that has some cedar paneling in it. And I have blocks of cedar that I put in drawers where more knits are stored, along with anti-moth herb sachets. So a little of everything.
I’ve started a new project (of course) but I’ll save it for next time!
Loki can’t wait.
