What a different weekend this was from last weekend. Totally relaxing, with a little baking, shopping, and... knitting!! It was a great weekend for FOs. Here's a sneak peak via the camera phone until I can get real model shots:
Yup, that's the "Mogul Cardigan" all finished and modified almost beyond recognition.
Just how modified? Here's the actual cardigan:
The sleeves came out WAYYY short (even though knit to the correct length) and I couldn't be arsed with a zipper. Besides I LOVE the buttons, can't wait to take a pic of them close up. Oh yeah, the collar was also a bit fudged because the mock turtleneck collar didn't seem like i would work with buttons.
I love the end product (I'm wearing it today) but the pattern was really poorly written. Definitely the finishing up instructions were for a different sweater, it was just obviously wrong.
Oh, and the little buddy in my hand? You probably guessed, that's a Sheldon, appropriately renamed "Michelldon" 'cause it's flying over to the states to give my friend Michelle a "Cheerio"! I don't think she reads this blog so it's safely staying a surprise. Anyhoos, such a quick knit, but I don't think I'll be doing stuffed animals again too soon. All the bits were too fiddly for me. I also couldn't find normal black eyes so had to settle for googly ones, but that's ok, he's still adorable. Anyway, will leave the details for the official FO shots coming up soon... ehhh hopefully soon!
