Spindrift


Spindrift Cardigan by Cecily Glowik MacDonald
More info on my Ravelry Project Page

My latest sweater!  I can not tell you how pleased I am with this cardigan.  I'm so glad I stumbled upon it while showing my husband another sweater I was planning to knit.  So plans were changed and I started on this one instead. I might be able to stop wearing my Aidez long enough to wash it. :)

Pockets!

5+ inch garter collar!


Knit in Quince & Co's Osprey in the Frost color way.  Osprey is an Aran weight with a softness you have to feel.  It is so nice next to the skin, none of the itchy-ness that most of the time accompanies wool.  Almost a light cottony feel to it.  The forst color is exactly what you imagine when you think of your frost covered windshield, slightly gray, slightly white.


While I'm not 100% with these photos, I hope that they convey to cozy, comfy factor of this knit!

And no worries, while I set this aside to finish my first pair of socks for the Business Casual KAL, as soon as I completed this sweater I cast on for the top secret pair No. 2!  I'm knitting these in Plucky Knitter Primo Fingering, a cashmere/merino/nylon blend.  I have one sock completed and I'm working on the second.

  1. I love that sweater soooo much! I really need to feel this yarn, too. It looks so great, especially in the garter edging. Beautiful! The socks are awesome as well.

    1. Thanks! 5.5 inches of Aran weight garter stitch is squishy heaven! It is such a comfort sweater, I just need a good book and a fireplace.
