Red sweater for Valentine’s Day?

by Danielle | February 12, 2010

I finished the Geodesic Cardigan by Connie Chang Chinchio. It was in the last issue of Knitscene, which is, by the way, one of the best issues of any knitting magazine I have ever seen – filled cover to cover with wonderful projects.

I started it on the second day of my fever / flu and was able to get a lot done during snowpocalypse 2010.  From what I can tell, this is the first completed one since the issue came out…I didn’t realize what a nice Valentine’s Day color it would be! This is worked up in Dragonfly Fibers Sock, color dragonberry. Yum! The tucks are created with shortrows. It is a lot of straightforward stockinette stitch but there are quite a few things to track at once. I recommend an iphone row counter app for this one.

    I can’t recall every liking so many projects as that latest issue of KNITSCENE. I made both the ribby toque hat and the recedere hat, and want to make the bungled mitts and the aegean mitts . This is what happens when your grandchildren home from school for a week, get bored – they take to looking at my knitting magazines as if they were toy books!

    Love the sweater!
