lush and lacy cardigan

knitting
this weekend i started a knitalong with KnittingRose, KnittingSam, and [info]happy2beso. we're all knitting the same sweater which is pretty fun!

i am modifying mine to be a bit longer than the pattern calls for, because cropped cardigans are not a good look for me. ;)

the yarn is an insanely soft cotton blend (KP shine worsted for those in the know). i'm having to knit quite loosely to get gauge, which is stressing me out a little, but i'm hoping the fabric firms and fluffs a bit after washing. the softness and drape seem to suit the pattern well, though.

that's really beautiful. I can't wait to see the finished piece especially since I've always wanted to try that yarn.

Oh! Looks good. I really like the rev. stockinette under the lace! I did garter stitch, which I think is what the pattern calls for, but I think yours would show off the difference better.

I should take a picture of mine... I'm not quite as far.

wedding in sept.
Hello Patti,
Been a while since we spoke and even met up in person. Plus, to be quite honest I've basically abandoned livejournal for the lures of myspace.
Well anyhow.. you are both a fantastic photographer and a wonderfully talented knitter.
I was approached by a friend of mine in Marysville and she asked about wedding photographers.
Would you want her information to find out what her needs are? I know she wants all digital and price is of a concern but I'm sure good quality ranks more importantly.
I can definitly get you in touch via myspace if you have an account.
Just let me know!
-Christina
