Estelle Cardi
July 27, 2010
Look familiar? Estelle comes in two versions, pullover and cardigan, now I have both! Same mods as before to make a more fitted sweater: smaller gauge and more decreases at waist. Also added length and more traditional fitted sleeves with 3" of ribbed cuff. I love the buttons in the back. I used 3.75 skeins of Cascade Sierra, 80% pima cotton, 20% merino wool and size 7 needles. Lovely.
Now I will get cracking on my test knit, but slow going with my hand still aching after a bit of knitting. My husband is giving me a hand massage every night, bless him!

ReplyDeleteI hope your hand will heal soon! And thank you to your husband for taking such good care of you!
that is so, so gorgeous!!! I love that you put the buttons on the back- it looks so beautiful, in a really subtly glamorous way.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Julie - it's absolutely glamorous!
ReplyDeleteIt is really a stunner! But don't overdo and keep those massages coming. We want you perfectly healed!
