Nonsmoking Cardi

I finished the nonsmoking cardi.  It makes me want to sit in front of a fire, petting the dog, drinking cocoa, and reading a British mystery.

#17 Cable/Lace Cardigan from Vogue Knitting Early Fall 2010 in Patons classic wool, royal purple colorway

Sadly, I have no fireplace, and, even if I did, it's supposed to be 87 degrees here today.  Still.


It's a bit frumpy, but I love it anyway.  I think it will look nice with black dress pants and perhaps a black shirt, but I wasn't willing to change for the photos.  (I'm wearing shorts in those pictures.  87 degrees.)

I've moved on to a sweater I'm knitting for a friend.  The lace pattern and I are having words at the moment, so it's nice to take a break and post pictures of something that reminds me that I can knit.

  1. OMG--that is gorgeous! I am passing up food posts to stop in whenever you post a finished knit! I am heading out in the HEAT (upper eighties here today) to my yarn store today! You really did a nice job with this and I don't recall going nuts over any project in this particular Vogue issue but plan to revisit it pronto! Thanks for sharing!
