Lovely Lace at Last

Finally, may I present you with my Sirdar lace cardigan ready to wear!

The whole body of the sweater as well as the cuffs have a picot bindoff that took forever, but looks great.

Alison asked me last week at Knitsmiths how the Sirdar waist shaping fit me... I'd say really well! Sirdar knows my body.

For those who care:

I'd originally bought 8 skeins of the Calmer, thinking I'd have plenty. When my row gauge ended up being so far off, (36 rows rather than 28 rows to 4 inches), I bought the other two skeins of my dye lot so that I wasn't left in a bind. I used most of skein number 9, but didn't break into number 10. Anyone planning on making Shedir from the Breast Cancer Knitty? Calmer retails for $11 a skein, I'm happy to sell this one for $8 plus $1 for shipping if necessary. Email me or comment, first come first served.

Happy Weekend everyone, I hope it's cool enough for me to wear my new cardigan!
