This crochet cardigan is made all in one piece starting with the waist band and button band and ending at the shoulders and sleeves. It’s a quick project and quite addictive. If you purchase the pattern PDF, print the odd pages first (1-7), flip the papers end-over-end and print the even pages (2-8)next…fold and you have a booklet. The last 4 pages are the charts in a larger format. Please email me (stitchstud at gmail dot com) for pricing on charity groups multiple license discounts.

My apologies for the garbled audio noise…don’t know what happened and I didn’t do anything differently. And sorry about the ‘whistle’ when inhaling. I have a stuffy nose and scratchy throat.

My swapetines (sock exchange) partner Auxi from Spain sent me these awesome goodies (plus an already eaten chocolate bar). Everything is great! A little “jigra” (see jigraknits for an explanation) made of burlap with neat sea-life forms made of lacquered dough art attached made a nice theme appropriate gift. There is also some rooibos (sp?) tea with a chocolate orange scent..mmmm. The camera and ambient light changed the color of the socks which is actually a rich peacock blue marled together with turquoise, fuschia, an orange… one of my favourite colourways. Morning Glory seeds top everything off!

I finished my garter stitch swatch for my assignment. In addition to the requisite swatch I did three other exercises at the same time:

long-tail cast on
purl bind off
slipped stitch edge stitches
