Featherweight Continues


Remember this old thing?  Yep, it is my featherweight cardigan and I just finished the ribbing yesterday.  This project is very slow going with size four needles and lace weight yarn.  I also am making the smaller size than my first featherweight sweater.  I love the blue sweater but when I soaked and blocked it the size changed dramatically towards large.  It is still too large in the armhole shaping and the chest size.


So as I was photoing this sweater I am wondering will blocking make it bigger?  I can only hope.  At least it is not huge on me.  In the end I chose a simple 2 x 2 ribbing for the edging.

    PSS- Yes, the squirrels must eat and I don't mind sharing [they ate half my pears], but last year they took all of the pecans! This year seems to be a bumper crop so there are plenty to go around. ;)
