I finally finished something!
The pattern is Cambern by Kathy Zimmerman. I’ve had this queued for a while, and finally got a window in my knit schedule to work on it. The yarn is Cascade Alpaca Lana d’Oro (thank you, closeout section at Webs!) It is a pretty easy knit – though it looks like it has a lot of complexity, the lace pattern has a two row repeat. I know! I looks much worse, but it is actually a straightforward knit. The sleeves are a different two row repeat, but equally easy. It is knit in pieces and seamed together. I did make one modification to the pattern as given. I am kind of big in the upper frontal region, but lace patterns are kind of difficult to tailor. So what I did was, I made the front a little bit longer. I had to jigger the seaming a little bit to make it work, but when I put it on it works.
Although there are some benefits to working on a bunch of things at the same time, it also makes it take a long time to get stuff done. That was the case here. I was working on three things at once, and this took much longer than it normally would to get done. But it’s done now, so on to the next!
Certainly doesn’t look like an easy knit!
