all the knitting for my tangled yoke cardigan is finished!
it makes me think i'm going skiing.
it's currently blocking after a good soak.
honestly, after looking at some of the finished tyc's this morning, i've wondered if adding the higher collar was a good idea. and if i knitted enough of a drop between the cabled yoke and the collar... this is really more of a jacket than a cardigan, don't you think?
on the way to Bi-Rite Creamery, yesterday, Erica and I stopped in Imagiknit to pick up some buttons. they're very simple, but i think the color is perfect and contrast nicely against the tweedy yarn:
i decided to knit 11 buttonholes; the extra 2 are on the collar.
i hoped it would dry in time to finish for wear tonight; but that's delusional wishful thinking, really. all that wool... but soon, i tell you! soon!
happy knitting!
