Notes

04.07: The cardi is finished but it dosen’t fit me :( As I feared, it turned out to small.

I indeed hope my fifteen year old daughter will use it and appreciate this gem of a jacket.

I will add some pictures when I have finished the job with blocking and sewing the buttons. Before sewing I will have to buy some nice buttons as well.

For a long time I have wanted to knit a Tempest, but I’m not so fond of knitting a cardi in so many parts and then sew it together. To avoid this I will try to knit the cardi top down all in one piece.

Gauge: 24/10 cm
