August 24, 2019 - No Comments
Yarn: Filatura di Crosa Superior — Cashmere Silk laceweight — a little more than 2 balls
Pattern: Sabine (Cocoknits)
Completed: August 23, 2019.
I started this as a travel project in November of 2017. I bought the cashmere laceweight with a view to making a (very light) summer shrug or cardigan. Something to wear over a sleeveless top or dress, when the breeze might come up. I was in no rush to finish, so it took a couple of years!

The 3/4 sleeves are slightly flared, and share the eyelet motif

In progress! The cardi is worked from the top (neck) down, leaving stitches on holders to continue the sleeves separately

Blocking! You can see how the side panels of the front descend to points, where the back is even.
