fair isle cardigan for myself






I challenged myself using a fine yarn for a fair isle cardigan,
and the result is very satisfying.
The stitches are so fine that it is hard to made believed that this is a hand-knitted garment.

This is a bottom-up cardigan, knitted in round, with technique of knitting fair isle and the scary steek. (turns out not so scary... but it always creeps me out when cutting the garment with scissors!!!!!!!!)

Using some books and websites as reference, I worked out the pattern by myself. I would like to type out a clearer version someday, when I have time for that. And I guess I have lost some of the pages in my chaotic yarn stash... Hope I can share with you some day! :)









I also added a little something for my very own knits, got the buttons and labels on etsy :) lovelovelove
