FO Erin Cardigan

I finished the Erin cardigan by Kim Hargreaves a little while ago. Here's a look at the pictures, it's a bit big but I love it. The Rooster Almerino yarn is just so soft and if it wasn't so expensive and hard to get(usually $16 AU per 50g ball) I would make another project out of it. This project was actually quite reasonable to make as I bought the yarn on sale at Calico and Ivy and Web of Wool. In total this cardigan cost about $80 AU to make.
I needed:
12 balls of Rooster Almerino in Smoothie(50% baby alpaca, 50% baby merino)
3 and 3.5mm straight bamboo needles to get gauge
Kim Hargreaves book "The Dark House"

Wisteria Faith

I'm currently making the Faith Cardigan from Kim Hargreaves book "The Dark House Collection". It's been fun so far as the lace pattern has kept me intriqued. I am making it with a Moda Vera yarn called Merinos Fine from Spotlight which has been sitting in my stash for a while. Today I finished the back, I'm a bit worried that the cardigan will be a bit short for me but time will tell.

Kim Hargreaves Erin

Rooster Almerino is such a beautiful yarn to work with. It's 50%baby alpaca and 50% fine merino. I'm making Kim Hargreaves "Erin" cardigan from the "Dark House" Collection. I originally purchased 10 skeins from Calico and Ivy in Mosman Park and I'm short a couple of balls. I am waiting for a few more in the right dye lot so I can complete 1/4 of a sleeve and the collar. Here is the photo of the back.
