What is 12 in 12 you ask? Well, one of my favorite yarn shops, Darn Knit Anyway in Stillwater, Mn is doing a year long program called 12 in 12. It's 12 sweaters knitted in 12 months. You can pick and choose which month you want to do or you can do them all. I picked the August sweater. I think it's super cute and figured it was one that I could actually get done in a month. I casted on on August 1st and had it finished by August 21!
I was a crazy knitter, working on it everywhere I went...well almost everywhere. I didn't knit while I was driving but I was sure thinking about it.
The pattern was easy and well written, which is what I need since I am a newbie.
Here is the link to pattern on Ravely...it's the Effortless Cardigan.
Even though I got it done on time, I didn't get time to block it until now, so here it is while it is still drying~
Not sure if I am blocking it correctly, so I have signed up for a blocking class this fall. I figure I can always re-block it after the class right?
Until next time~ Sherri
Your sweater looks wonderful. I knitted a sweater when I was young and thin. It swallowed me whole, but as the years went by and the chocolate went in, I out grew it.....grin.
