Questions About the Saddle Shoulder Cardigan?
For the past couple months or so, ever since I finished my mother's shawl, this is what I've been working on. It's pretty much the only thing I'm working on right now (and I'm itching to get back to my spinning wheel!). I do love it, though, because the yarn feels really great to work with, and it's a lot of fun to watch it emerging.
PrairieHarpy wants to know more about knitting, as do others. So, let's start off with this . . . ask any questions you want about it in the comments section, and I'll work up responses to your questions. I'll even expound on one of my favorite techniques - steeking, and why it's nothing to be afraid of. How about it? Fire away!
I'd like to see a blog entry on what inspires you to pick the patterns you pick. Do you seek a pattern with a purpose in mind? Or do you thumb through magazines and decide one looks neat and you want to try it? I also wanted to ask you if you knew where to find a pattern I saw in one of the only 2 knitting mags I ever bought... went to the site mentioned in the ad, and I guess it's too old an issue to show the featured piece. But unfortunately, I don't have it on hand at the moment and I've got to go! I love the patterns you pick. The shawl is beautiful and every bit as nice as the stuff I'm seeing in these mag.s
Would love to see a couple closeup shots of each of the patterns in this sweater. They go together so well.
