It may be dreary outside, but this cardigan is bringing me sunshine.
A dose of vitamin D on a rainy day. Pattern is Vitamin D by Heidi Kirrmaier.
I’m wearing a yellow hand knit cardigan to work today and I feel wonderful. Not just wonderful, but joyful.
Every time I look away from my keyboard and my glance glides over my yellow, woolly sleeve I feel a sense of enormous pride. Here is something beautiful and useful that I made with my own hands. The stockinette is smooth. The fit is good (better than I expected). The color is bright, cheerful and (bonus) doesn’t clash with my wardrobe.
I learned quite a bit in knitting this garment. I learned how to use short rows to shape a garment. I fell in love with how graceful a knit can look when constructed in long curves instead of straight blocks.
The eyelets didn’t turn out half bad either.
You did very well. I see the smoothness of the stitches. What will you be knitting next?
I’m knitting four or five things right now. And I’ve got a couple projects waiting in the wings. Definitely polyamorous when it comes to knitting.
Beautiful! I love a good bold yellow (or orange.) So cheerful and exciting- and it does look great!
Lovely! Kind of makes me want one, too! In yellow. Never mind that I don’t do yellow!
Ooh, I’m a yellow pusher. 🙂
Yeah… Cuz that’s JUST what I need. Another enabler! LOL
WOW! I can see how wearing that sweater would brighten your mood all day!!
Lovely! The yellow is amazing and looks great on you, congrats!
Add some colorful handknit socks and you will REALLY be in a cheery mood! 🙂
I’ve got a pair of those in my purse. Well, actually, just one, and it doesn’t have a toe yet.
A no-toed sock? Make one more and you can wear them with flip flops or zoris!
Gorgeous! It’s so bright and perfect for spring!
Aww thanks.
lovely yellow cardigan, great for those fresh mornings and nights …
There’s nothing quite like wearing something you’ve made yourself, is there? And that cardi is gorgeous!
So pretty, and the color is so cheerful! What yarn and color is it? And the pattern looks gorgeous on you.
Good work! It does look very bright and cheery!
What a beautiful sweater. You wear that color really well.
Thanks. I love warm colors like orange and yellow.
Full of sunshine 🙂
Thanks! That’s how I feel too.
