I think it turned out quite well despite the introduction of a deeper purple than was originally present. I used up almost all the yarn to make the shawl collar a bit bigger. Very little left over at the end.

Featherweight Cardigan
At long last, the Featherweight cardigan is finished. This was my first sweater that I actually spun yarn for and of course, I miscalculated and ended up needing another 4 ounces of yarn. It was quite a dilemma since I had to dye up some more fiber to try to match the original batts.

I'm so glad it is finished. I started this sweater February 2012 and have since improved on my spinning as well as knitting. For a sweater to wear around the house on cooler mornings, I can't be happier.

ReplyDeleteExcellent! I'm so impressed you used your own hand spun. I'd be wearing this sweater everywhere with a sign "My very own hand spun"!!
