My Soay Cardi c’est fini! This was my entry to MadMay2012 (Madelinetosh Madness).
I used Tosh Pashmina, my first time knitting with this yarn and it is pure buttah!! I wanted to use this yarn for a totally different pattern, but as it sat in my yarn bin, my pattern choice changed many times. I’m glad I finally chose this design because I could customize it. I love that it is feminine with the bits of lace and the silk content in the yarn makes it so light and luxurious.
I have a bunch of it leftover which is fantastic because I want to knit this little number from Coastal Kids for Kiki and Pashmina would be perfect for it! Isn’t Wee Wildflower so cute? So is Little Oak, aww! I love the whole collection!!
Mods: I lengthened the cardigan slightly (just a tad under 2 inches longer than the original), shortened the sleeves and added the lace motif to the back for fun.
This cardigan works perfectly over a sundress like the first one I knit or over jeans and a tee on cooler spring days.
