Finishing Bits

Weave in your ends and sew together underarms.
Attach your buttons, zipper, snaps, or strategic safety pins for fastening the front of your cardigan.

Enjoy!

I never would have thought of adding the purplish kidsilk haze too the mix but the color combo lends the piece so much depth. Beautiful work and construction!!

Oh my this is a gorgeous sweater! I've been looking for a sweater pattern just like this. I'm thinking that I could spin the yarn for this pattern. I have a light blue and deep coffee brown fiber. I LOVE comfy sweaters. Thus why I don't do so well in summer.

This is a stunning sweater, + an amazing interpretation of gees bend. I come to the site often to look at the patterned fabrics you carry and at the crisp clear photos of your yarn and am constantly trying to apply prints to knitting-usually in a straightforward texture/colour 2d way. How clever of you to use different weights to avoid the box nature of the stitch. ooooooo! i'm so inspired it tingles!

I'd like a little more information on how to attatch the snap tape.

Truely amazing! I love it! I would like to see it on you (or on somebody) to see the fit. Is it a loose or stretch style?

Beautiful cardigan - and a very clear instruction, thank you!

I am confused about this set of instructions in the body of the sweater:

Rows 3 and 4 are worked on the Wrong Side (WS) of the garment:
Row 3 (with Color 1): Slip 1, k1, (p1, k1) twice, k to last 6 stitches, then (k1, p1) two times, k1.
Row 4 (with Color 2): Slip 1, k1, (p1, k1) twice, k to last 6 stitches, then (k1, p1) two times, k1.

So working on the WS it is necessary to purl in order to maintain stockinette stitch - k (p?) to last 6 stitches and then (k1, p1) two times, k1 is only 5 stitches.

Please advise thanks - I have already completed the sleeves and look forward to finishing the sweater.

Hi Athena,
I believe rows 3 and 4 should end with slip 1 which would give you 6 stitches. I'm going to change the pattern now. Thanks for pointing out this error!
