Dec 2009: Am I mad? A whole stocking stitch cardigan in laceweight linen on 2.75mm needles? But it’s so lovely, and so much my style… . I have the correct tension on the 2.75mm, so off I go.

Jan 2011: I’m finding the construction really interesting, now that I’m past the armholes. But still so far to go!

Feb 2011: This is a really fated project! The cat peed on the bag that had the body in; I had to do most of one sleeve twice because I increased on both sides, and now the sleeves are different lengths and I will have to knit the top of one of them again.

End of Feb 2011: Halleuja! I have finished the knitting (which included having to wash the body again because a cat threw up on it. This really is the most fated project I have ever made! Now sewing up and in the sleeves.
