aThis May I completed a sweet pair of stockinette socks with a Fleegle Heel.
When I saw the Timber by Shannon Cook, I just had to cast on. For this cardigan, I found some Rowan Hemp Tweed on sale for a good price and the yarn store even had enough skeins in what must be my favourite colour to wear, teal, and that just sealed the deal.
I love the idea of this cardigan, but I did learn some lessons about myself. One, I find tweed itchy. Probably something I should have checked out before committing to the time and energy of knitting a cardigan, although, maybe some laundering will help soften it up. Secondly, I do not really enjoy open cardigans with no buttons. I realized this actually awhile ago, when I knit the Mama Vertebrae, but perhaps it was wishful thinking because I really love the idea of the Timber cardigan. So next time, maybe oversize and a soft, super plushy yarn!
