Noni madness
Whew!
Once again, I have been slaving away. Also once again, though, I have managed to squeak in some time to knit and I fiiiinally finished my Koigu cardigan. Here it is in all of it's glory- and may I point out that it has been about 90 degrees out every day since I finished it? Oh well- it will be just the thing for fall in mid November when it will finally get cold enough again here to wear it! I do have to re-sew on the buttons- they way I did it you see the little knots and thread ends if the button band flips over. I know that there is a way to do it so it so that those things don't show (all of the items that I currently own, with the noted exception of my cardigan, are lacking this feature)- I just have to look up what, exactly, it is.
So I was merrily knitting along on my curtains, when I was distracted by the knowlege that DillyDallyKnitter had a Noni Bag pattern. I was thinking about that pattern, and thinking about it, and thinking about it. So then I had to look at their web site. One thing led to another, and I had to make one. Or two or three. So far, I am only part of the way through the first, but I have yarn for two more. Let's hope that I like the finished product- otherwise I have lots of Cascade 220 to use up!

That cardi is sharp. Love the color! When I finish sewing on buttons, I bring up the needle between the fabric and the button, cut the thread, and use the ends to tie the knot. The knot remains hidden between button and fabric.
I think I'm in love with your cardigan. Any details on pattern etc...? If you designed it yourself, any estimate of how much Koigu I should buy to recreate it?
I was wondering what brought the heat on! Thank you for finishing your cardi (which looks fabulous, btw) because the rain and the cold was starting to get to me.
Thanks everyone for the compliments, and Becky, thanks for the button- sewing tips- you were far more helpful than "Couture Sewing," just so you know!
Maeve, I designed the pattern myself, and I think that it took 8 skeins of Koigu (apparently a little Koigu goes a long way!).
That cardigan came out fabulous! Bring it to knit club! (Notice I didn't say "wear it" because it suddenly 90 deg out here!)
yeah
yeah
what they said.
gorgeous sweater
