London.crafts wiki - Differences between Version 2 and Version 1 of Kake's Sonnet For Marna

Version 2	Version 1
== Line 7 ==
Started on Wednesday 24 September 2003. Body (worked in one piece) completed Sunday 28 September 2003. ==== Notes on the pattern ==== * I did the cast-off, cast-on buttonhole method. It took a minute to work out how to cast back on - solution is to turn the work around, cast on, turn back around. There seem to be some stray strands in some of the buttonholes and I will work an edging to secure them. * Sleeves - the pattern says to work in box stitch in the middle 12 stitches, but this won't be symmetrical, so I'm working it in the middle 10 stitches. I wouldn't like to work the sleeves without stitch markers. * I'm working the sleeves top-down. Originally this was because I wasn't sure whether I'd have enough Monte Cristo to finish, but after completing the body I did some sums comparing the surface area to the number of balls used, and I think I'll have a ball and a half left over, so this is less critical now.

Sonnet cardigan for Marna - 2-ply red yarn with glitter thread (ebay) (see photo to right) - held with the black Monte Cristo (cotton/acrylic mix, feels like brushed cotton sheets!) that I got from ebay.
Two strands of the red held with one strand of the black on 6mm needles gives 4 st/inch in garter stitch.
