So here’s one I’ve been a little remiss in blogging. It’s been finished for quite some time, and yet it’s sat, unphotographed and unblogged.
\nPossibly because I’m not feeling the love for it.

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Shimmer<\/a> by Kim Hargreaves<\/a>, from “Misty<\/a>”
\nYarn: Rowan “Calmer” in Carnation, purchased from Jannettes Rare Yarns<\/a>
\nNeedles: Knitpicks Nickel in 4 and 4.5mm
\nTime: Started May 12, finished June 28. (I told you it had been a while!)
\nMods: None.
\nTo start with I quite liked the colour, but the longer I knit with it, the more I disliked it. It looks too orange for my liking. And when I first started it, I wondered why there weren’t many pictures of it. Usually Kim puts up at least 2, sometimes 3 different views of each design on her website. For this, there was just one, and the model was sitting on a windowsill<\/a> and you can’t see the shape of the cardi very well. I should have looked more closely at that.
\nIt’s boxy. (And to be fair, it’s described that way) It’s got very deep raglan sleeves, and a very wide neck, and I’m not sure I like the shape. The sleeves are very wide – almost as wide as the back. If I was to knit it again, I’d probably narrow the sleeves a little, raise the raglans a little, and make the neck a little higher.
\nWill I wear it? I have to say that I’m not sure.

\nBut Ailsa<\/a> did an awesome job photographing it for me, and making it look pretty good!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
