Hello.

i am knitting a double knitting cardigan for Lesley to wear at bowls club. The back is done - Irish Moss Stitch.

I’ve just started the left front. The fronts have a cable design.

I don't know who Lesley is, but she sure is lucky! Beautiful cardigan!

Thank you, CaliAnn. Lesley is a friend, she posts under the name of Rainowl.

That's a beautiful pattern, Penny, and I'm sure Lesley will be thrilled to have to finished piece! All of that moss stitch would drive me crazy but it sure makes a nice texture.

Thanks, Donna. I find knitting intricate patterns soothing, I have to concentrate and count. Apparently the brain gives priority to counting and other issues are set aside! It is a nice design. When I’ve knitted cables in the past, I’ve had to twist stitches, this pattern forms the cable by passing a third stitch over the previous two.

That's a beauty! Nice work!

Thank you very much, ntl.

Beautiful. It looks so good in this color!

 

[Schuee]

Thank you, Artyczar. Yes, the pattern shows up using the white wool.

You can see the design better now I’ve knitted more of the left front.

Looking good Penny! I remember doing those kinds of cables. They were much easier than using a cable needle and trying to keep the stitches in the right order. Sooner or later I would twist them the wrong way. "That hole is supposed to be there!"

Good work Penny! It's a lovely pattern.

Thanks, Donna. I did wonder about the holes at the start!

Good work Penny! It's a lovely pattern.

Thanks very much, Kay. It‘s a while since it knitted raglan sleeves, preferring dropped shoulders.

I’ve finished the left front and begun on the right one.
