What the title says. :)

Tangled Yoke cardigan

I wear this all the time. It’s hard-wearing and very warm – the yarn is not perfectly soft and slightly tickles bare arms, but it doesn’t make me uncomfortable. The pattern was simple with just a few fiddly moments at the yoke. If I made it again I’d change the garter rib (which isn’t at all stretchy) to a plain 2×2 rib.

Rambling Rose cardigan

This pattern comes in two sizes, 30″ and 43″. I am neither. To make it fit I had to alter the scallops at the bottom, adding stitches to the pattern repeat (in the garter stitch sections) to make it up to the required amount. I knit it as normal after that, but obviously with a higher stitch count and wider reverse-stockinette sections. I also added width to the sleeves. It was a great success and is perfect for autumn or spring weather. The yarn is as smooth and soft as you could wish, but would probably sag if you were not careful to dry/store the garment flat.

Poinsettia

Superbly soft, warm yarn. This neck warmer is as cosy as any scarf, but without the annoying bulk that makes my winter coat fit strangely. I chose this pattern because unlike many cowls, it fans out over the neck to cover the shoulders a little. It is snug and lovely. The lace is subtle and straightforward. I would make it again like a shot.
