Im Endeffekt hat es nur für eine kurzärmlige Jacke gereicht, aber sie gefällt mir ganz ordentlich - allerdings ist mir ärmellos im Moment dann doch zu frisch, aber so im Frühjahr/Herbst könnte sie des öfteren zum Einsatz kommen, denke ich.
Von dem Garn werde ich auf alle Fälle nochmal Pullovermengen anschaffen, wenn es mal wieder im Angebot ist - vermutlich Anfang nächsten Jahres...
Bought the yarn on sale without project in mind -not a good idea… Now
I plan to use it for a short-sleeved cardigan, based on the Indigo
Playmate pattern. I want it to look a little like Leaflet from the
front, so no overlapping button bands, but normal ribbing.
Will have to do the math, though,as Wendy Bernard is using a thicker yarn…
Okay -
Gauge 22x29 instead of 18x22
Factor 1,22 for stitches
Factor 1,32 for rows

Reached 51 cm from cast on - hope to finish at least body this weekend

Finished! I hope this will grow a bit widthwise when washed - the notes for the yarn say it is likely to - I could need app. 2 cm more width. It will be wearable as it is, but quite on the tight side. I forgot that the original pattern has quite a wide buttonband and I did not have enough yarn left to do it a lot wider, so should have taken that into calculation. It is in the washer currently, we will see…

Guess what - of course it did NOT grow in the washing sighs Well, we will see how it is with buttons, I can always wear it open. Like the yarn though, seems to be a great yarn for “hard working easy care” cloth - a tad scratchy maybe for sensitive people, but I can well imagine using it again - there are nice heathered colourways. Then I will buy enough yarn for a garment from the start - I will probably need app. 500-600 g, i.e. 10-12 balls for my size.

Finally sew on buttons - not as tight as I feared, quite alright in fact, even with buttons closed.
