penelope's cardigan

I was given a Stitch 'n Bitch day-by-day knitting calendar for 2008, which had lots of knitting tips, stories and, of course, patterns. I made a version of their Swing Sweater [the only place I could find any mention of the pattern or pictures of the sweater was on Ravelry, and you have to be a member to view anything. Sorry about that. If you're reading this and you're crafty, or just appreciate beautiful knitted things, join and a wonderful world will open to you]. had most of a ball left over from Patrick's robot sweater, so I used that even though it's a different weight than the one called for. Still, I thought it came out nicely despite the change.

Onward.

Hanging around. You'll notice the two blue stripes on the right sleeve. I was afraid I wasn't going to have enough yarn to finish the sleeve without those extra three rounds of blue, and I was right. And I think that sleeve might be a round or two shorter than the other, despite the addition. Any road, I thought it turned out cute.

Cables and stripes.

Like everything else, Penelope's grown out of this cardigan, which is the reason for no action short. But let me tell you, it was super cute when it was on her.

Stats:

Yarn - Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in green and blue

Needles - I'm not really sure, I knit this so quickly that I don't remember
