Same same's sleeve

Same same just had a nice bubbly bath and is drying stretched on my dining table. It is rather cloudy and grey so I foresee quite a few family dinners on the smaller coffee table in my living room..
Meanwhile I thought to give you a glimpse of the sleeves.

Couple of pleats next to the faux seam  and a pretty icord to finish it off.
I used this youtube  demo to graft the cast on end of the icord with the live stitches of its end .

and here is the mousy yarn bowl brother of this shown in this post :)

Looove !

The Galvanized Cardigan

I just seamed today the underarm live stitches and absolutely adore this little cardi. I like the color combination -so elegant. I like the simplicity of the construction and I'm  happy with the fit.

A few slight modifications; decided to knit only 39cm of the sleeves before joining to the body. The sleeves grew in length during blocking. I always let the garment soak in a mild bath and then spin it 1600 in my washing machine to get all excess water away. The felted tweed bloomed as I knew it would. Also shortened by half an inch those corrugated cuffs. My sleeves gauge is tighter than the body gauge  because this is how I knit with dpns but as I have slim arms it works for me.

If I was to knit it again, I would add about 6 more sts to the button bands , I feel it pulls in the fronts a bit, and cast off tighter the neck band. All in all  I'm very happy with the design :) 

I used 8 different  buttons from a vintage set.  So pleased .

Well done , Amy Christoffers !
