alpenglühen

a cardi like this was on my wishlist for ages!!!
classic lines (like those classy alpine jackets)
in a freaking funky colour!!

aaand .... here it is



made this little beauty bottom-up
the sleeves are worked top-down, so there are NO seams!

needles. 4.5 mm [US 7] and 5.0 mm [US 8]
yarn. malabrigo merino worsted col. sunset 
purchased at wollsüchtig 

the pattern is ready for testknitting, so i hope for
a release in mid december (hope dies last....)


there are many other knits on my needles,
fingerless mitts, scarfs and shawls .....(gifts,...all gifts!!) 

like this

  1. Oh, I would love to testknit that cardigan, it's lovely! Of course I still have the tee and grandpa cardigan. But I'm almost done with the body of the cardigan, need to find the time to sit down and write you a mail with how I would write the pattern, cause it's a lovely pattern!

    greetings,
    Rebecca

  7. Oh, I would looooove to knit this — it's the perfect cardigan — but I'm too slow to be useful as a testknitter. Will have to wait till it's published.
