Cold Snap

The weather is finally turning cooler here, and it motivated me to finish up 2 projects. They were both cardigans that I had been on the verge of completing, but it was hard to get going on them when the weather was still in the 80's.

The one I'll share with you today is the Vine Lace Cardigan--it's the one I hinted at last time. I credit Janet for getting me fired up about this pattern. It had been on my Rav favorites list, which I use as my "I would like to knit this someday, maybe" list. But after she talked about it, the pattern just stuck in my head, and the next thing I knew, I was at my LYS picking out yarn!

This was a fun knit that only took 2 weeks. I had finished knitting it 3 days ago, but I always slack on putting on the buttons. This morning, the air was crisp and cool, and so it seemed like a good day for buttons!


Details and more pics are on Ravelry and in the gallery.

Nice cardi. I wish I live in the 4 season country so I can knit something like that.

Beautiful again! Great colour, and I love the pockets too.

Reading this post, it occurred to me that I have no tweed yarn at all. I must rectify that!
