WIP - The Cardi Pt II

I am so pleased to say that my cardigan is as good as finished. All I need to do now is the sewing together (yuck) and add the neck- and sidebands. 
When blocking the pieces I only took pictures of the back piece, doesn't it showcase the fair isle effect the self striping Sirdar Crofter DK yarn achieves just wonderfully?
Now I need to find the kick to start the sewing process....I am really dragging my feet on that one as I never seem to manage straight lines. And also, maybe a raglan type cardigan was not the best idea to start with - but I guess I just have to learn one day, right?

  3. I love your sweater--the yarn is just beautiful! I'm the same with sewing, I just hate it and always put it off. The sooner you get it over with though, the sooner it can be worn!!

  5. I love the fair isle patterning on that yarn. So cool! The sewing up part is my least favorite, too. But at least raglan sleeves are a lot easier to seam than set-in sleeves. Plus you are very smart to block your pieces beforehand. That makes everything so much easier.
