Another project that was started ages ago...
This past winter was really cold in Lithuania and as I started this cardi as during those cold winter evenings, trying to get my fireplace started. However, then we moved and this project stayed in Lithuania along with most of my stash. All I had left to do were the sleeves (again!, this seems to be an issue with my latest knits).
Drops Karisma is a great yarn and I have a feeling it will be really wearable. It shed a bit whilst washing and grew somewhat in length, which I actually kind of like. The thing with cardis these days is that they seem to never be long enough.
This was totally inspired by this cardi, but I did not use the pattern as I was knitting top-down. I took over the idea of one-row stripes that look so amazing.
Oh, and thank you to my sister for modeling all those cardis in the biggest Zurich heat ever. :)
