Christmas 2003 Project Three: ‘Nancy’ for Laura

filed under Nancy from Rowan #29 January 13th, 2003


This is my sister Laura’s sweater, my first cardigan! It’s made from Rowan Wool/Cotton and has three color intarsia flowers all over it. This one qualifies as the biggest pain in the ass because of the many many ends that needed weaving in - 6 for each flower (a word of advice: no matter how much you hate it, weave those ends in as you go!). But it was well worth it and fun to see it taking shape. It’s very tailored with lots of shaping and with the accent colors it will look good with lots of different cloths. And it’s very soft. The Wool/Cotton doesn’t feel that soft in the ball but when it’s worked up, it’s feels buttery. Now, hopefully, all those little ends will stay put through some wear…
