Another finished project! I know it is really quite shocking. Don’t expect too many more of them before Christmas!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had a little photoshoot yesterday at my in-laws, and I proved once again that I am the least photogenic person on the planet.<\/p>\n

I seem to be pulling a strange face and \/ or doing something a little odd with my arms in almost all the pictures (and we took several! ) My photographer \/ stylist did what he could with a difficult model, but the cardigan is lovely at least \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The pattern is Sleeves in your Pi<\/a> by Gayle Roehm, and was originally published in Issue 61 of Knitter’s magazine, then was also included in their collection book called Ponchos and Wraps, a Knitter’s Dozen. It is basically a big circular shawl with sleeves in.<\/p>\n

I used 6mm needles and the yarn is my handspun, 70% alpaca, 30% merino in Cappuccino from John Arbon<\/a>. After all the stressing about whether I would have enough yarn I actually used way less than the pattern called for. In the end I used about 480g which was about 915m (it is about a DK weight), even though I added an extra eight rounds to the main circle before the edging to make it a bit wider.<\/p>\n

The cardigan is lovely and cosy without being too warm, and I am looking forward to getting a lot of wear out of it. The yarn is shedding a bit which I am a little worried about. I think I shall take it along to the next Show and Tell session at spinning group and see if anyone has any tips for how I could have spun it differently. Hopefully the shedding might stop after the first couple of times I wash it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
