Evening :-)
An update on the crochet cardigan. A rainy afternoon/ evening was perfect to finish the second front panel of the crochet cardigan (for pattern click here) so here it is. You might be able to see in the picture the sequence and silver thread which is part of this turquoise yarn. It is gorgeous (Soukie) although quite difficult to work with as the strands tend to separate a lot if I'm not careful.
And they are the same size, but the angle of the picture (to avoid shadows whilst taking the picture) is a little bit off giving the illusion one of the sides is bigger than the other. Should maybe try a lighter background next time so that you can really tell the colour.
And the pattern-following is going well so far, not too challenging so far. Will keep you posted with my progress, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Which do you prefer? Crochet or knitting?
Laters and happy crochet-ing!
Hello :-)
So quite a long silence for a few days as I went on holiday. I bought some yarn as I was going to start a knitting project (Sirdar Soukie 7087) which caught my eye a few weeks back.
Although the yarn is beautiful, it is however very challenging to work with as it has three strands with sequence and I am not a very confident knitter. Because I have already worked with multiple yarns in crochet - I may show you the bag I designed last year in a further post - I thought I would use a crochet pattern for a cardigan instead that I completed last year for my boyfriend's mam.
I thought that I could upload a free version here, even if the website is under construction. Please ignore the markings as they were just there so I could keep track of where I was.
The pattern is quite straightforward from what I can remember.
So I will update you with my progress in a few days, right now I've nearly finished the front left.
Until then, happy crafting!
