June 12, 2004Miss Bea's Windmill CardiganThis is the Windmill Cardigan from Miss Bea's Colours. I love the hearts in the pattern which gives a little design without the effort of intarsia despite the fact that mine are more heartlike than actual hearts as in the pattern. I think its due to the fact that my knit tension differs from my purl tension. I need to figure out exactly so I can use two different needle sizes to remedy the tension problem. Wow, use two different needles on purpose, that will be a switch. I do that all the time now. However, not in a way that would help my knitting, LOL!
This will be my first button band too. Lookin' forward to it. I have the back on a holder for neck shaping 'cause I am determined not to walk up and across the ladder again. Better look in my reference books soon or I am going to run outta holders. Posted by froggy at June 12, 2004 09:52 AM Comments
Oooohh, that's a great pattern. And a lovely color. Your daughter's going to look fabulous in it. Posted by: Lynette at June 12, 2004 03:18 PMOh Froggy...You are just such a sweetie...Yes, I just read yesterday's post. I think the little hearts look great. It so full to have great details without the bother of a million colors of yarn all turning into knots. The mini will look great her new Heartie... Posted by: Georgia at June 12, 2004 03:30 PMI love those hearts, what a great idea for a border! Posted by: kerrie at June 12, 2004 04:46 PMIt looks so nice. You must be the most prolific knitter around! I'm impressed. Posted by: amy at June 13, 2004 11:50 AMYour hearts are perfect! And I'm a little late, but WOWZA! Kate is great, and it looks drop-dead sexy on you. :) Posted by: alison at June 14, 2004 04:20 AMLove the little hearts - it's a great cardigan. I've only ever done the two different needle size thing by accident... Posted by: Anita at June 14, 2004 07:30 AMI have the same problem -- my tension's a lot looser when I purl, and with some yarns, I end up with a definite ridge in stockinette. Putting a different size needle at either end of the cable with my Denise interchangables does the trick for me. Posted by: MJ at June 14, 2004 09:54 AMYou pick the most wonderful patterns! Elegant and classy. Posted by: Becky at June 14, 2004 02:33 PMThe hearts are adorable!
