Blue and Grey

Filed under: General, Project Spectrum v2.0 — Dee @ 4:28 pm

Last June, during the blue month of Project Spectrum, I began knitting blue squares for the knit-a-river campaign. Over the last six months, I have only been able to knit 5 squares. However, as the deadline is a beginning of February it seems only fitting that my first post of PSII should include my Knit a River squares.

Top Shop SweaterLast September, I promised my sister I would make her a grey cardigan similar to one she had seen in Top Shop. Over the last few months the cardigan has been and gone in the stores, I think it was even reduced in the January sale, but finally I have got around to making it.

I am knitting it from the top down on my addi turbos (my new favourite needles) using Cascade 220 in Slate Grey.

Top Shop SweaterAfter, I joined the fronts to the back (when you put the sleeve on the spare yarn) I started to add a cable design. I am kinda making it up as  I go along, but I have decided to increase on the sides (just under the join) so the cardigan has a little flare - like the original design.
