Pattern: Lorna Suzanne by Ellen Mason (link will take you to the Ravelry purchase page)
Yarn: Patons Classic Wool Merino in Aquarium
Needle Size: 5 and 4
Dates: February 18th, 2011- March 15th , 2011
My Project Name: I was listening to The Third Day, the Frost by John Marsden when I started knitting this. I really love the character Ellie Linton, so this cardigan was named after her.
Modifications: Nothing big. I used a backwards loop for my increases instead of M1's because my backwards loops always look quite sloppy.
New techniques learned: None however when I was grafting the underarms, I realized that a refresher couldn't hurt. I used this article right here.
Notes: I actually finished the knitting portion of this on the 11th but I had to go out and pick up some buttons today so I could finally wear it. The buttons are a Beatrix Potter bunny which I got from Joann's.
I had some really bad rolling issues with mine because I knit it on smaller needles. Blocking really fixed it but I think I'd like to re-block the collar because the right side is still looking at little funky.
I really love everything about this cardigan, it's so cute!

EEk! It looks exquisite on you!! Fit is perfect, and the color, bravo. And I have those same buttons. Ellen
ReplyDeleteEllen,
ReplyDeleteThank you! and thank you again for the awesome pattern! I'm going to pick up Lillian Fay this weekend I think, as I loved knitting this one so much.
