I am loving my current WIP, a simple straight forward cardigan which looks quite intricate due to the self-patterning yarn. The Sirdar Crofter will present you with a Fair Isle mock pattern and is probably one of the coolest yarns I have worked with so far.
Mixed with the Sirdar Country Style the two colour ways totally compliment each other and make for a light but not boring looking cardigan.
I would have never chosen these two colours on their own or even thought about using them together but when I browsed my favourite online store Deramores, I came across a pattern for a cardigan and fell in love with it straight away. For the first time every I bought a pattern and the exact suggested yarns within.
It does scare me a little bit because I have never worked like that before, I am more a kind of "winging-it-knitter". But I have high hopes for this one (even though I said that about almost every thing I knitted recently).
totally awesome yarn! love the effect, its going to be a groovy cardi :D
ReplyDeleteThat yarn is so awesome! The effect certainly looks like fair isle. Hope you have fun knitting this beauty up!
ReplyDeleteThat's going to be a gorgeous cardi when you're done! I'm looking forward to watching it progress. :)

I love projects which are sneakily simpler than they look! Great colors.
ReplyDeleteThat is the best self-patterning I've seen yet!
ReplyDeleteOoh, totally love the combination so far! No wonder you were drawn to it!
