Last night I had an idea.
What if I take the sweater that I don’t like, made from a yarn I love and re-knit it. I don’t like the sweater because I have a long torso and it’s really meant for women with a shorter torso so the waist hits me in the wrong place. Also, the cowl is nice and warm, but it’s too much and it’s hard to layer.
It’s too late to back out – you can see why below. This was probably a bad idea. First of all, I don’t have a pattern for the cardigan that I want to make and even a search on Ravelry has come up short. Second, I probably won’t have enough yarn to even make the cardigan. But I dove right in, as usual, and the sweater is now almost all in large balls of yarn.
I’ll have to create my own pattern for this. Don’t get me wrong, there are many patterns out there that create perfectly fine comfy cardigans, but I want it to be one piece. I hate seaming and I think that it looks awkward, especially on yarn this thickness (2.5 sts to the inch).
Wish me luck! I’ll post something if I can actually figure out how to make this cardigan from the top down.
