Look Closer. Ah, C'mon....
It has come to my attention that some of you, God help you, actually read this blog for the knitting content.
Well bless your little hearts! That is SO SWEET!
I tell you what; let's just HAVE some damn knitting content, why don't we:
There! The current state of the vintage cardi, on the home stretch.
Just glorious, isn't it, the way that the pieces roll right up -- combination of the stockinette stitch, which would roll up under pretty much any circumstances before blocking, and the raglan design, which adds to the whole rolling-up scenario.
Well, here: this would be the front:
And here's the sleeve, where you can see the cable that decorates each side of the front, here running up the length of the raglan:
Oh, come on. You can, too see that. Ok, here, I'll help: here's a close-up of the front cables:
Well. I can see that this is getting nowhere. Maybe when the thing's done we'll take it out in the yard and see if we can get some light on it. The vintage hunter green Shetland wool seems to be eating up all light that approaches it, like a little black hole of sweaterdom. I worry sometimes that when I'm wearing it people are going to be getting REALLY CLOSE so they can see the cable decoration. Cause that's pretty much when you can see it. I know it's there. The rest of you are just going to have to use your imaginations.
This is why, oh dear souls, you haven't been getting any knitting pictures recently -- it was this or the leper bandages, which are wonderful useful things, and sort of good-looking in a pedestrian sort of way, but would cause you to fall asleep at your monitor.
So just hang on -- let me get this cardigan out of the way, and then I'll give you some more pictures of "Margaret Tudor."
