        Thank you Vera for your kind words. I just love your designs. Iā€™m currently knitting Round Yoke Jacket.

      Beautiful cardigan, you have done a superb knit. I do love Oge designs. I have used the same yarn on 2 jumpers for my granddaughters and loved knitting with it.

      I can't believe there is no sewing up. Woo hoo.
      I also like there is no picking up stitches for the band on this one I am hopeless at that.šŸ˜ŠšŸ˜Š

      It is gorgeous Fiona. The top downs are great because there is no sewing up.

        Thanks Jennifer. I found my sleeves seemed tighter using double points so decided to redo them using single point and seaming. Yes I did love not having to sew side seams etc.

      Your wee cardi for Alexis is beautiful, how pretty is the colour, hope the knitting from the top was not difficult.

        Thank you for your kind comments. It was much easier than I expected and the bonus is no sewing up.šŸ˜Š
