I’m not so sure about this Rambling Rose cardigan. I have the back completed and it looks WAY too small. Even when I stretch it out to what I think it will block to, I’m still left with a knot in my gut. I guess the only way to know is to throw this baby in the tub and block it out for real. I’m scared. What if all this knitting is for nothing and I end up with a 12-year-old sweater that I can’t wear? Oh the horror.
Well let me show what I’ve done. The lace really is pretty. And I just love this yarn. (Debbie Bliss Merino DK) So it does have 2 big points going for it.
This is the back without any bocking or stretching. I just flopped it down and snapped the pic. Next up is the closeup.
It looks really different when it is blocked. Really. Bigger. Yes. Like for an adult. Yes. That is what we will all chant together. Ready?
It is not too small.
It is not too small.
It will work out just fine.
Now go get some ice cream and be done with it.
Ooooh – so pretty! The lace is gorgeous, and what a pretty color! It WILL fit, it WILL fit!
