About

This is my own pattern. It's top-down seamless. Stitches are picked up for the garter button plackets. The 13 rows of the snowflake were really too many rows to knit without increases for the yoke, and got kind of stretched out. If I do this again, I'll knit more of a solid color with plenty of increases before beginning the fair isle. I used Cascade Heritage 150 yarn - now discontinued - from my dwindling stash. This yarn is very soft and machine washable and one skein makes a baby sweater. I think this cardigan would work for either a boy or a girl, but I put the buttons on the girl side.

  Hi Christine - I have changed my mind about leaving LoveKnitting. I don't want to let one bad apple (Antique Sled Couture) force me away.
  
  I'm posting here because the less I have to do with that individual the better. She is inconsiderate and unpleasant. And I see that she hasn't let up since I left.
  
  I value you and wish you luck in the fight. You should know that LoveKnitting said this when I told them I was coming back. "At the moment we're working on the issue you have highlighted. We are committed to the community and we are investigating, and will always stand for the community to be free of insults and harassment of any sort. It was created for knitters and crocheters to share their passion for the craft."
  
  In the meantime I plan to try one of your Christmas Tree ornaments. All of your patterns on LoveKnitting seem to be free. I would willingly pay for one of yours. You have a real eye for design and I think you share my aversion for doing seams.
  
  I'm glad to b

  Hello Blossom. Yay. And thank you. So happy you will try one of the ornaments. They are quite fiddly if you are unaccustomed to fingering weight yarn. Also, please try the little hangers. The materials for them are inexpensive, and you can flub up several and throw them away and it still only costs you under a dollar. By the way, none of the little ornament sweaters are seam-free. You just can't knit such a teeny tiny sleeve in the round. Also, when I make the tiny sweaters, I throw away about one in four. Just no point in ripping it out.
