From Susan — Kauni Kauni

Filed under: Susan's Kauni Cardigan — lv2knit @ 7:24 pm

I’m seeing double!  I’ve been working my way back to you, Kauni — but it’s slower when you reknit something.  It took a little bit of the wind out of my sails.

The picture shows spliced photos of the old and the new Kaunis.  I really did prefer the old, mistake-ridden colourway, BUT it is better to have the mistake-free version instead.  I am very near the armholes and therefore must do the math so to speak so everything lines up properly.  I hate that!  It means making a commitment to sweater length and shoulder placement, and I am such a commitment phobe with knitting.  Eeeeesh — the neckline comes next! 🙁

PS — I had such a nice evening yesterday.  I met with Maura from The Yarnery and several of the teachers.  They are great people and fabulously talented knitters!  We talked some business and then went next door to Axel’s Bonfire for a lovely dinner.  I had a wonderful time!

  2. I think the I like the new colorway better – and you are right – it is better to have the
    mistake fixed because it would bug you always 🙂

  3. Susan- Listen, you got back on that horse and rode again!
    My Kauni is sitting in it’s basket- I just know the same colors are going
    to merge- and it scares the crap out of me.

    Do you happen to know a good fiber therapist?

  4. Can you bottle that lightening speed and skill? I’ll buy, but definitely!

  5. So pretty. It’s amazing how a few (mistake) rows really changed how the colors come out. I’ve seen a couple in this colorway — are there any out there in a different one? I ebay’d the yarn, and there are several colorways on-line, but not this one. (Goodness, I’m confused this morning.) Anyway, it’s beautiful!!
