Something Finished!

We are taking a break from spinning today for an important announcement: I've finished up my Forest Featherweight Cardi! I did use some of the third skein of yarn to finish up the front/neck bands. I love this pattern and the yarn was perfect for it - very soft and light weight. I used seed stitch at the hem, sleeve edges and the front/neck bands. I pinned it shut on the hanger with a small cable needle, but on a body, it works either pinned or hanging open.

This sweater taught me that I could use a sweater as a take along project. Now I'm not planning on grabbing a super-complex-epic-knitting type of sweater project, but I would definitely do something worked in the round again. The sleeves were a bit fiddly, and they made it harder to pack up my project in my bag, but I could just work sleeves at home instead of out in The Great Wide World.

Now we just have to wait until the temperature drops a little bit so I can wear it!
