What We're Knitting

~Madelinetosh Vintage Cardi Love~

by Paradise Staff February 14, 2013

I am sooo in love with my new cardigan sweater! I used Veera Valimaki’s pattern, Golden Wheat. It is a beautifully written pattern (as are all of her patterns!) and is super easy. Golden Wheat is knit from the top down all in one piece, so no seaming. Yay! I used Madelinetosh Vintage yarn and I am totally addicted! The color is amazing and it’s really soft and it’s even machine washable. My gauge was a little off as I was using a slightly finer yarn than the pattern called for. I followed the directions for a size larger than I would normally make and used the same size needles as the pattern called for. It worked great and fits perfectly! I also decided to knit the pattern in stockinette instead of reverse stockinette and I put buttons all the way down the front. I decided not to make the pocket. A very nice sweater that is really comfy and cute to wear and was enjoyable to knit. A lovely combination
