Love the colour on you and love how you used toggles instead of buttons too. I’ve just bought the pattern and going to start today. 😊

The red looks absolutely stunning! Definitely a good choice :)

[@laurarachellee]

Thank you!!

[@jennifereverett6843]

Totally agree with you regarding the Cascade Heritage. Stitches slipping and felting before finished. Also, beautiful cardigan!

[@laurarachellee]

Yeah I think I will try a few other yarns before returning to the Cascade. I have a feeling it isn’t going to hold up very well.
Thanks!!

Love the saddle shoulder design of your Cardigan No. 9. 🧶🤩

My Favourite Things Knitwear knows what she is doing! Definitely worth weaving in all of those ends!

Personally, I love me an old man cardigan. They're so cozy. And I feel like theyre oddly stylish. Your cardigan is gorgeous!
Edit: i cant remember, did you mention if you swatched for the Blouse No. 2? Bamboo and Cotton can really sag/stretch, and do not behave like wool fibers.
Edit 2: My favorite sock blend is an 80/20. I find its a bit plumper and more durable. However, i really want to try the Bumblebee Acres Coquette Sock base. Its 75/20 Superwash Corriedale/Nylon, and while soft, its supposed to be very wooly and durable.

Honestly, it is so cozy and there will likely be more old man cardigans in my future!
I did swatch for the blouse no 2, but I think the entire weight of the garment is what stretched it out. I’m making the body and sleeve a little shorter than I usually would in anticipation of the stretching!
I’ve never heard of that sock yarn! I will have to pick some up if I ever come across it!
