FO: Silky Wool "Pinnate Cardigan"
 

FINALLY DONE! :woohoo:

This PINNATE cardigan ALMOST got tossed into our campfire in the mountains a few weeks ago! The yarn had so much trash embedded in it, which was particularly visible when I was knitting in the sunshine! It drove me very crazy. My husband accused me of being crazy to take the time to pluck this yarn clean. :shrug: (My Ravelry Notes)

Anyway, I simmered down and just began plucking away at the trash using tweezers as I knit along. It doubled the time it took to get this done. All's well that ends well, they say. :eyes:



Above: the cardigan hemline isn't uneven. It's just how I'm standing.

I have been there and done that, but if nothing else, knitting does teach us patience. It is a beautiful cardigan and perfect color I think.

Absolutely stunning--as usual for your creations! I'm sorry to hear you had trouble with this yarn. Here's hoping the next pattern, yarn, and experience will be relaxing and enjoyable . . . in short, everything knitting ought to be.

Personally, I would have renamed this "Sulky Wool"! :teehee:

There are just two words for this sweater on you: Gor-geous! Worth every plucking minute.

It turned out beautifully and looks great on you too. Your whole outfit looks great.

That came out gorgeous!

WOW that is beautiful and your knitting is perfection. I love it. I wouldnt have been patient about picking the yarn, you must be incredibly patient. I think this should be on a magazine cover, it is incredible.

OMG, ArtLady! You do such beautiful work! :notworthy:

I see the front and back match, but I really like the picture of the how the back looks. A really pretty, feminine sweater.

If you go her Rav link there is a full back pic. It's beautiful all around!
