I finished the cardigan! The sleeves seem a bit loose at the bottom (yes, I blocked it), so I’m trying to decide if I want to redo them or not. Am I the only one who couldn’t make themselves go with a solid ribbon? Of course, now it’s too warm to wear it outside!

Today I decided to join the KAL. I need a top for the spring which is coming soon I hope. My project is the Arpeggio Top knitted with cotton and silk held together.

Well I sure fell behind, but I can see the finish line now. I cannot wait to curl up in this cozy cardi. I’ve been practicing steeks on my gauge swatches while my Rujuu dries from blocking. Bring it on!!

So I am hoping to complete all the finishing on my Rujuu before the fashion show, but my indecision has taken hold. I purchased a length of trim to sew over the steek selvedges, then decided that maybe I could just make it on my Inkle loom instead. However, the band pattern I chose is… a challenge. At least for my current skill set. And it is taking me forever haha I wonder if I should just sew on the store-bought band and finish my woven band later? Also… which buttons?!?!

The KAL is nicely timed for me! I've pulled this one out of the waiting pile in hopes of having it done in time to wear late spring/summer. Not my first colorwork, but definitely my first in a "sport" weight yarn. (Good luck finding yarn options called "sport" in Canada!). So many rows! Quite the contrast from the Rujuu I just finished up. Looking forward to getting it done.
