Eris cardigan progress
As I mentioned yesterday, I picked up Eris, a cardigan that I started, gosh, over a year ago. This is a few rows past where I left off:
I love the pattern, it’s amazingly well written and so detailed I don’t know how anyone could mess it up. I went through the forty pages with a highlighter for everything I need to do, and as I go along, I highlight each step that I’ve completed. It was a breeze to see where I left off in the pattern and pick it up right away.
The yarn though – it’s bothering my allergies a little. It’s a heathered yarn, Elann’s Peruvian Aran. It’s got these red threads running through it that are a little stiff, and they itch me a little. My eyes start to water after an hour or so. I have to take an antihistamine to keep my eyes from running and I want to scratch my skin.
I know it will be okay after I wash and block the sweater, because I did that with my swatches (the ton of swatches I made) and they were a lot smoother and comfortable after the bath. But now, eh.
This is where I left off on Friday. I did a lot more on Sunday during the trip to the Lavender Fields. I think I’ll be able to finish this if I bring it with me on vacation next week.
Beautiful color for you! I love that pattern and I’ve considered it myself.
ohh looking very pretty. Love the color
It’s looking so good, it will be worth all the effort! I’m heading for the Lavender Fields tomorrow and hoping they will be worth the trip!
Thanks! I think you’ll have a good time at the Lavender Fields. It’s quite small but has lots of good stuff.
