I wanted to knit a cardigan with as few seams to sew up as possible - the bit I like least about knitting is the sewing together at the end of a project! I also wanted a bit of a challenge. I found this pattern on Love Knitting and immediately liked it. The sleeves are knitted on a circular needle, so no underarm sleeve seam; the body is knitted on a circular needle, so no side seams, and the sleeves are joined into the body, so it's then knitted all in one - just a little bit of seam under the arm and the joining of the collar along the back of the neck...fabulous! Was I disappointed? Certainly not! Believe me, the rows get pretty long when you get the back, two fronts and two sleeves, all on the same needle, and I could have done with a slightly longer cable than the 80cm one I was using, so watch out with your cables and make sure you cross them in the right direction, or you'll have a lot to undo to correct your mistake! I love this designer and will use more of her patterns
