I've wanted to make
THIS cardigan every since it first came out in the fall but I just could not get to it. When
SHELIA made it up I fell in love with it even more. Well I finally got "A ROUND TUIT" this weekend. Am I pleased...yes! I had this nice charcoal gray knit several months ago and knew right off the bat that it would become McCall's cardigan twinset. I thought the cardigan would be a great place for some of the black rose and lace trim that I had left over from my Chanel jacket project. I love it on this project too. I still have 2 1/4" yards of the trim left so it's bound to show up on another garment eventually.
This is a repeat of the
cowl neckline razer top that I made during the Month of Tops where I drafted a McCall's Hillary Duff pattern to a Simplicity pattern.
My kids are trying to teach me how to do model poses (lol).
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, let me see what's up next........
The braid is a great idea. I have only seen such cardigans made up "plain" but I am going to add braid to the next one I make now! The model poses are good too!
