    About

    I had a batch of green (sprout!) yarn that I had purchased to knit myself a cardi, but never got around to it, so decided to incorporate it in this lovely Sirdar jacket. This was the first time I have ever attempted Intarsia knitting, so let me say it was a steep learning curve, but I hung in there. Now I am going to knit a larger size for the eldest granddaughter.
    I had completely forgotten how to do lazy daisy stitch, as haven’t done one of those in over 50 yrs, not the best I must say.

    Notes: Top of sleeves seemed big to fit into armhole so I reduced stitches by a few K2 tog. on final row before casting off.
    Not keen on set in sleeves, I think raglan sleeves always sit nicer.

        Thanks Michelle, it was so rewarding to see the 2 granddaughters wearing these when I visited them in Vienna in October.
