FO Friday: Incunabula Cardigan!

Hi friends, and happy Friday!

I’ve been sitting on this finished object post for ages, waiting to have the time to sit down and properly write about what is probably one of my favorite ever finished garments, my Incunabula Cardigan, knit in very special Shear Delight Castlemilk Moorit/BFL DK.

One year ago today ✨💕✨ 📸 @lovelucyx.photography
Inspired by @jennifergbarrett I pulled out the Bressay colors that we painstakingly chose at @northern_yarn a few days ago. It’s a such a challenge to visualize how so many colors will play together, but I am really excited to give these a try — especially since they’re a little out of my comfort zone! #bressayalong #mariewallinkal #wallinalong #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #knitknitknit #nevernotknitting #myhandsmaking #jamiesonsofshetland
Why did I take two years to finish this cardigan? I’ve written a blog post today about this particular piece of knitting’s journey — you can find it at the link in profile if you fancy a read! I’m so happy it’s finally done though — I’ve worn it nearly every day since I finished it! This photo is me wearing it on last weekend’s sunny walk, paired with my @lucyandyak Atlas overalls (which I’m totally in love with). Pattern is Southwell Cardigan by @oliveknits knit in @sherwoodyarn BFL Sock. #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #knitstagram #myhandsmaking #knitknitknit #nevernotknitting #memademay
How to focus on work when the sun’s streaming in and you’ve finally got a knitting project back on track. Sneaking in rows on the front of my Olivia by @cocoknits knit in @blackisleyarns Shetland Sport in between tasks today. #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #knitstagram #myhandsmaking #handmadewardrobe #lovelocalwool
I’ve been working on this cardigan in a very off and on way for two years now. The end is in sight ... if I could just stop dithering over this buttonband! This is attempt two — my first go was far too many stitches and flared terribly. I’ve decreased the number of stitches, and can’t decide if it’s just right or if losing 4-8 more would be better. Do I press on, rip back, or block as is and see? This would be perfect to be wearing right now ... I want to finally get it off the needles! Pattern is Southwest Cardigan by @oliveknits knit in @sherwoodyarn BFL 4 ply. #knittingniggles #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #handmadewardrobe #knitknitknit #myhandsmaking #100percentwool
