The Beginning of the Shadow Boxes Cardigan
The back of the cardigan begins...
This is the first color panel of the back of the Shadow Boxes Cardigan (which I will probably refer to as SBC because, a) I am lazy, and b) as a scientist I have a pathological need to turn everything into an acronym). This sweater is worked from side to side instead of top to bottom. The patterning is essentially garter stitch rows offset by stockinette areas. Only the lower part of the cardigan (the bottom 36 stitches) have the shadow patterning. The stitch work is a little wavy at this point, but I think a good blocking will take care of that!
So far, so good. Finished with the iris striping for a bit and onto plum!
Oh! And a big Happy Birthday to my very first knitting buddy and teacher, Judy Smith. She's busy being a pediatric rhumatologist, but hopefully someone is taking time to feed her cake!
Interesting knit and I like the colors. I'll be watching your progress. I'm sure your mom will love this present.
thats the way the shadow hats worked too, while knitting sometimes it seemed to make my eyes dizzy in optical illusion sort of way. i never tired of knitting them tho which surprised me, i was always happy to see each new triangle formed.
i love the colors and you have beautiful works in your gallery. i am bookmarking your site so i can see your progress on this sweater.
That is really nifty looking Theresa. This will be a lot of fun to watch develop!
Is the pattern for the holographic knitting available printed or webbed anywhere?
