Hello,

On to my fourth knitted garment. Its another Andi Sutterlund pattern called Miette Cardigan. Miette is a free pattern download available on Ravelry. It is a cropped cardigan with 3/4 sleeves and eyelet details. This was my first go at doing some lacework in the sense that I used yarnovers for the first time.

I used a yarn bought from loveknitting.com during a sale (its no longer available now though). Red Heart Niki is an aran weight knitting yarn which is 80% Acrylic, 20% Wool and machine-washable. Its a dark brown colour, the yarn itself feel very lovely and soft.

Here are my Ravelry Notes…..

Blocked and buttons sewn on :-).

So I finished this cardigan in June of 2015 and its been sitting in its Morrissons carrier bag until October when I decided to get my knitting house in order. Over a year!!! Argh! I know that I lost steam (again) and got excited to cast on a Marion cardigan. Then I just forgot about it. Not cool Hila.

Anyhow I finished this off so long ago I cant remember exact details except to say that it knitted up quickly. The finished item didnt look like much but when I blocked it I was pleasantly surprised that my eyelets weren’t nearly as bad as I thought.
