Light as a feather
The knit that almost did not make it. You may remember that I cast on for a Featherweight Cardigan way back in July . There was a rather terrible dog related incident but repairs were painstakingly made and the knit continued with no real problems.
Indeed the pattern was a joy to knit, Hannah Fettig's patterns are well written and simple to follow, they make working with lace-weight yarn a pleasure, the knitting grows quicker than one might think and the simplicity of the design really shows off the beauty of the yarn.
I used Malabrigo Lace which was adorable to work with and apparently makes itself quite adorable to young male ruffians of the canine kind.
For once the knit was completed and lovingly blocked I set it carefully on top of the ironing pile ready to wear the next day.
It could not be worn the next day, for it was discovered in the hooligan's bed, sporting a very large hole underarm.
I felt rather despondent about the whole thing and just put it aside for weeks and weeks. Then one September evening I pulled it out again and set to work. Somehow I patched the offending area and somehow it really isn't so very bad.
So you see, Featherweight Cardigan, the knit that almost never was.
