Resist not

I picked up the latest Interweave Knits Fall 2010 and quickly found 3 patterns I'm got on my knitting radar. One that I had to knit, is the Leitmotif Cardigan.

I went with Fibernatura Mermaid yarn in Almond.

Fibernatura Mermaid - LeitMotif Cardigan

This cardi is knit lengthwise with an invisible cast on, the construction of the pattern also attracted me, it is a nice change from the typical top down or bottom up methods. So far I've got small headway.

Fibernatura Mermaid - LeitMotif Cardigan

I think the Mermaid yarn is going to be a great fit for this Cardi and the sheen on the yarn is extremely pretty. The yarn is a mix of 42% Cotton, 35% Superwash Merino, 12% Silk, 11% Seacell. It has a very nice feel and will do great with the cables. I'll keep you posted, for now I'll have to prepare for my week.

Happy Knitting all 8-)
