Pattern by Wendy
Using Wendy DK
Cable Trimmed Raglan Sweater and Cardigan
4mm needles
I used King Cole Melody DK in the colorway Apple shade 965
100% acrylic
This is the sleeve and you can see the different yarn colors here, I call it my Lemon and Lime cardigan.
This is the cable that is in the raglan sleeve front and back.
This is the back see how the colors spread themselves across the work, well it was not that easy on the fronts or sleeves :). It took some winding of new balls to get the colors to look right. I think it looks great and with the green button bands I will put on it should all look 'like it was meant to be'.
I have run it passed Hubby who is fussier than me and he concurs it is good :)
These are the two fronts.
This is the neck line before I added the collar.
This is where it is so far, all sewn up and collar on ... just about to work the button bands today. Hubby says it will all work out :)
A fun knit with lovely yarn
Thanks for having a look I will post the finished... finished... item later :)
Hugs

DeleteVery nice, Christine
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend (or whatever day it is)
Thanks Trev its Saturday night here :)
ReplyDeleteHoly Moley. I doubt anyone who doesn’t knit will ever know how hard it is to match the pooling of variegated yarns, like that!
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job. 🏆 Well done!!!
I love the colors - they remind me of fruit ices and sherbet.
Hope your cold is letting you feel better, too. ❤️
Thanks this too shall pass :)
DeleteMatching those stripes is no easy task. What a fantastic job!!
ReplyDeleteIt is absolutely perfect. Wear it proudly and in good health.
Enjoy the day.
Thanks so much :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors on the sweater and cardigan! Glad it’s DH approved. That makes all the difference! LOL Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHe is often my sounding board as I can 'put up' with things and he spurs me on to greater heights :) to " do a proper job "
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :)
ReplyDeleteYou have a talent! Thanks for sharing the process and the product with us.
ReplyDeleteThanks it is my happy place and over the years Hubby has taught me how to keep going and conquer hard patterns and finish what I start... sometimes I d need to come back to the real hard ones later :)
Deleteow You are so talented. Those colors work so well together. Thanks for the Kitty picture.

Hi great you stopped by thanks for being a sparkfriend over my ten years there and also for stopping by to read my new blogs :) woo hoo :)
ReplyDeleteDo you have a blog on blogger would love to add it to my list.
This is lovely! 4A-HEALTHY-BMI sent me over here after I mentioned hunting through a variegated skein to line up color bands on a sweater, and it turns out that it's basically the SAME cardigan but in crochet (and mine's blue)! I remember when just changing from one solid color to another seemed like "magic" or "voodoo," and here I am matching up stripes across three separate pieces. (I think I'm just going to let the ribbing be whatever it is, or switch to a solid, compatible color - haven't decided, yet.)
ReplyDeleteThank you... yes it was a 'nightmare' though I think I got away with it :). It is a wonderful weight to wear as well not too hot .
ReplyDeleteAnja is an amazing knitter and is a great lady :)
