Cleckheaton Cardie
So, here's the start of a few posts on FO's. First up is the Cleckheaton Cardie pictured here in the leafy Autumnal surrounds of Christchurch.
Pattern: Cleckheaton Book 949 - Circular Yoke Cardigan
Yarn: Cleckheaton Country Silk - 75% wool, 15% silk.
Time Taken: Trying to remember it seems so long ago now and I think I was knitting other things at the time too - I'd say probably 4 weeks in total though.
Difficulty: No knitter would have difficulty with this pattern it's pretty simple and straightforward but I managed to have a counting failure. After I had sewn in the second sleeve I realised upon counting my stitches that I had finished the sleeve for the next size up - not the size I was knitting, so some unpicking of sewing was required. No biggie really but I hate sewing up so much, doing it twice can send me over the edge!
Winner/Loser: Winner, thankfully. I've already worn it quite a bit.
