This is my most recent FO, the Fuse cardigan. It seems that working almost monogamously on projects is the way to get things done. Who would have known?
I was originally drawn to this project because of the collar that is created when the fronts are buttoned at the back of the neck.
Despite getting gauge and knitting the size with the suggested 3-4 inches of positive ease, my cardigan is somewhat smaller and shorter than anticipated having seen the one shown in the pattern. I don't think much more can be gained from an even more rigorous blocking, but let's see. I may try to lengthen it a bit in a second blocking. Anyway, small cardigans seem more useful to me than large, bulky ones.
Yarn: Two strands of Holst Garn Supersoft, colourway Heather
Needles: 4.5 mm (had to go down from 5.5 mm to 4.5 mm to get gauge. Strange).
Mods: None.

Åh så flot til dig, Birgitte. Den røg fluks i min kurv, for den MÅ jeg også strikke... senere... ligesom alt det andet, der ligger og venter ;-)
That's just gorgeous! I love that little lace pattern!
Tre bela svetero!
This is lovely, Birgitte!
Nøj, hvor er den altså blevet smuk. Wauw! Den ser altså også meget, meget godt ud på dig!
Jeg har købt det blåstribede hos min lokale stofpusher Fjølner (i Viborg) der også har en web-shop (www.fjoelner.dk). Så vidt jeg kan se har de ikke mere af den mærkeblå variant, men den findes i en lidt lysere variant under 'bomuld'.
Beautiful FO! well knitted!
Thanks for all the nice comments :)
