I have to admit that I was mostly feeling guilty about a sweater quantity of Berroco Vintage that has been living in my stash for some time. Once upon a time, this yarn was knit into a Lauren cardigan, but for some reason, I can't find a picture or project entry for it. Anyway, I knew right away after finishing the first cardigan that this yarn was just too soft and drapey to work with the pattern so I frogged. Ever since, the re-wound cakes sat in my stash... judging me.
To remedy my guilt, I started over with Woodstove Season. I took me seven days to knit the entire cardigan plus a few minutes today to sew on the buttons after it dried. Monogamous knitting is pretty amazing. I got a new sweater in one week, and it was knit with stash yarn so technically, it was free!
Pattern: Woodstove Season
Yarn: Berroco Vintage
Colorway: 5129 Teal
I'm glad to have this one done. Next, I need to move on to more cross stitching, so I can finish Mrs. Claus' Cookie Shop by the end of the month. Also, I have a sweater design in my head which I need to do some math for and get down on paper. I am not a designer, so this will be interesting.
