Featherweight Cardigan

Michelle — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 08:20:49 +0000

At last, I have a FO to show and it’s for myself . It has been quite sometime now since I knitted anything for myself and my oh my, this project took me quite awhile to finish. It took me approximately 4 months from start to finish but there were other projects in between and I did went away on a holiday for a few weeks. But I guess the end result is worth the wait and the effort.

Pattern: Featherweight Cardigan by Hannah Fettig
Yarn: Less than 1 cone of ColourMart Mohair/Merino 2/16 4ply wt in Fresa colourway
Needles: 4 mm

The only modifications I made to this pattern were:

Replace M1 with KFB instead.
Knit until 10” from underarm to bottom edge before the edging.
Worked feather and fan stitch (4 repeats) for body/hip edging instead of rib.
BO with 4.5 mm

However, If I were to knit this pattern again, I might knit less rows before I reach the underarm sections as it did grew a bit bigger after I blocked it and also knit a wider edging for the collar. Nevertheless, I’m still happy with the end results.

It’s Combat Time

Combat boots are definitely back in style this season. It’s funny how the trends kept on returning!! I remember I used to have a pair of combat boots back when I was just a teenager!!! Ahh…those were the days. Of course, now I’ve to add a pair to my current collection!!!

However, after buying this pair of combat boots, I’ve no idea how to style it up. It remains in my closet for more than a month until my recent trip to Japan where I bought a new coat and a pair of jeggings. This is definitely one of my favourite casual look for now .

Coat: H&M
Jeggings: Uniqlo
Shoes: Tony Bianco Gravel
Bag: Burberry Blue Label

We took a few shots but somehow, the doggies always remain in the photos. Don’t you love them to bits?

BSJ #5

This is BSJ #5 and I anticipate this will be the last BSJ I will be knitting for this year, unless some of my friends are pregnant and have not told me so . Anyway, this is the brightest BSJ that I’ve ever knitted and I absolutely love the colours!!!!

Pattern: Baby Surprise Jacket by Elizabeth Zimmermann
Yarn: 4 skeins of Anchor Magicline
Needles: 4 mm

Anyway, I hope both the Mummy and baby will like this cute little jacket .
