Wing It

I'm working on a cardigan that I am doing completely out of my head. Well, sort of. My colleague had a sweater I quite liked the shape of. So I peeled it off her body one day at work and measured it up and came up with a 'pattern'. Doesn't look like much right now

Eventually it is supposed to be one of those cardigans with the long points that drop down in the front. I'm using bamboo yarn and I must say it is lovely and soft. If a bit splitty. And I may go blind from picking up stitches in black dk yarn. But the knit is looking nice, I think, Won't be able to tell for sure till I have knit on the neckband.

Ciao

I have a couple of cardis with that shape and I love them - I keep meaning to draw the schematics for one.
Great idea! I have a sewing pattern for a cardi like that but have not attempted it yet. Can't wait to see how your idea works!
good luck with black - I totally avoid knitting with that coloure!
You are very brave! I nearly went blind knitting a black shawl as a Christmas gift and decided I would never knit with black again. I'm looking forward to seeing your sweater finished!
