Fickle

I've frogged the Queen Street cardigan. I want the LeStrange cardi more - and I think having two fingering weight cardigans on the needles at the same time is probably a bad idea.

But I still don't have the yarn for LeStrange yet.... and I want to knit a cardigan now!!!!

Fortunately I recently bought a sundress that's in desperate need of a cardigan. And I have just the yarn for it!
That funky material in the background is the sundress.
I've had this Bamboo Tape forever (colour is 'honey'). I bought it to make a big, sloppy pullover - readers who have been around for a few years may remember the sweater I started with it. But it got set aside and eventually frogged. I still loved the yarn though and it really is perfect for the kind of cardigan I want. Big, flowy and comfy!
Yay! 5mm needles!
I've chosen the French Braid cardigan, and I have to admit, after making a couple of cardigans in fingering - it's kinda nice to do one in worsted. I think it will be a nice distraction when the LeStrange cardigan gets overwhelming.

  1. Oooooh, really pretty. The pattern is going to show up so well with this buttery soft yarn.
