Cable-Eight Top

Pattern: Cable-Eight Top from Interweave Spring 2005
Using: 350g of Heavy Worsted Cottons on 5mm needles

Completed: 18 September, 2006
Modifications: As I’m using a heavy worsted yarn at 4sts/inch, I went on for the largest size which turned out perfect. I have also added some short rows to lower the front neck, skipped the crochet rows on the sides and seamed up the slits.

Petals Baby Cardigan

Pattern: My own - Top-down Raglan
Yarn: Jaegar Baby Merino DK in Petals (about 2 and 1/4 balls)
Completed on Jan 22, 2006
Top-down is a true winner - this was made in 6-9 month size but after extending her sleeves for about an inch... my 15 month old toddler is still wearing this (right now actually) ;o)
