Yes, I've cast on a garment.... after all those socks, it feels liberating to not feel obligated to knit socks
After many years of yearning for Grace, I've finally started her.
I am knitting it in pieces and so far am still on the cabled hem. It's over 200 stitches on 2.75mm needles, so basically, taking forever. I'm 1 ball into this cardigan and there still several more repeats to go.
The pattern is from Jaeger Book 1 (JM01)
and I'm knitting this up in Rowan 4 ply soft. I have some cashmere in my stash which I'm saving for Grace #2. Consider this my trial run ;-)
It's a lovely pattern & I love the cable hem. The color of the yarn is lovely too.

I love the bottom, it is really femmine
Posted by: Arianwen at June 2, 2009 02:28 PMGrace is knitting up very nicely. I love that shade of the 4 ply soft!
Posted by: ling at June 2, 2009 12:40 PMOh! This is one of my earliest knitting crushes - must dig out my Jaeger patterns. I remember pricing it up in the original cashmere and thinking "ouch". It will be fab in 4 ply soft and I look forward to your progress.
Posted by: Anita at June 1, 2009 11:28 PMLovely pattern. I wonder if it is available from Rowan still.
Posted by: Dianne at June 1, 2009 09:37 PMSo pretty. I love the cables and the color.
Posted by: Sallie at June 1, 2009 07:52 PMThat is such a pretty hem Polly. It will suit you. Can't wait to see how it looks.

PS I'm going to do some shawls rather than garments for a change!
Posted by: Sarah at June 1, 2009 08:53 AMThis is really lovely... You're incredible in this knitting stuff.
Posted by: Mech at June 1, 2009 08:37 AMWhat a fabulous sweater! I've never seen this pattern and will most definitely bookmark it. Looking forward to watching your progress.......
Posted by: Rebecca in CO at June 1, 2009 05:50 AMGrace is lovely I have always coveted the pattern and long meant to knit it, can't wait to see how it turns out.
Posted by: Jacinta at May 31, 2009 11:29 PMI must look through my books and magazines, this is lovely.
Posted by: dawn at May 31, 2009 08:53 PMI know what you mean about knitting something other than socks, but I would quibble with your contention that socks aren't garments. Today is a laundry day, and I have 60 garments hanging on the rack downstairs!
