Elizabeth Bennet Cabled Cardigan
Posted by Aimee on January 3, 2008
Ta-da!
This yarn cables like a dream!
Great stitch definition despite being all sorts of fuzziness due to the angora content.
Pattern: Elizabeth Bennet Cabled Cardigan by Stefanie Japel
Size: 44″ (in theory)
needles: Knit picks options 4 and 6
buttons: 9 of them. vintage pearly ones
yarn: Cascade Cloud 9 – I bought 22 balls as instructed. I have 8.5 left. *grumbles*
modifications: ok – I wanted this a little big for layering and I am a 42″ bust. but I didn’t need that large of a neck, so I knit 2 down for that and then increased.
Things I love:
The collar and button band in seed stitch and of course the cables.
Things I hate:
IT IS HUGE ON ME! And I have lost 2 buttons. I need to buy slightly bigger buttons anyway, but I love the look of these – so if you have a line on some similar – lemme know!!!

I am convinced the canned sizes in this book is not meant to be “fitted” at all! LOL

So lucious. I’ve been looking forward to this FO for a while now. Is it uncomfortably warm for indoor climates? I generally shy away from angora for that reason.
It’s a beautiful cardigan in a wonderful color. Bravo!

Anya would run in terror. Pink Bunnies! But it did turn out wonderfully. Too bad on the extra yarn and, well, room.

I think in the third picture from the bottom it looks like it fits perfectly. Now make sure everyone only sees you from that side and angle and you’ve got no worries.
