CarolynGM said... I like the lines of this cardigan -- it's anything but boring. Good luck on the next two. 9/24/06 7:35 AM
SarahWeb said... Maria, I like your sweater and I like your swap page. You've inspired me to try some Onion patterns. I will enjoy checking back and seeing your finished swap garments. Keep on sewing! 9/24/06 9:59 AM
bunz said... What a great pattern, Maria. Just looking at it, I wonder if the buttons start a bit low. The fit looks perfect. 9/24/06 1:39 PM
maryfrana said... This is a great looking cardigan. Much more stylish than the KS one I made last year. Love the Missoni knit fabric too. 9/24/06 1:42 PM
drsue said... I think it looks very nice. I hadn't even consered getting this one; now I might. Do you think it would work in a bulky knit? 9/24/06 3:41 PM
MariaDenmark said... Thank you all!
bunz - I think you're right. The top button should have been just a little bit higher... Must do better next time :-)
Sue - The Missoni knit is rather thick (and bulky). I've left out the darts and think I might need to use some of the added seam allowance, but I think it'll work out good! 9/24/06 4:09 PM
milwaukee_kelly said... OMG! I love your SWAP page. I like the cardigan -- kinda plain, but it could calm down some loud pants or camisole underneath. 9/25/06 9:53 AM
mrspenguin said... The sweater has "lovely bones" and I can see where you might like a heavier knit that would speak more highly of the beautiful lines. Despite that, it is a pretty piece. It's a seamstress's bane to be critical about stuff no one else will ever notice!
I love the SWAP plan. I'm so impressed. 9/25/06 11:48 AM
Nancywin said... Great Swap page! I need to get more organized... I love the cardigan; I think you'll be happier with it iin a more substantial knit. The color looks great on my computer, and it looks like it fits into your swap plan perfectly. 9/25/06 10:15 PM
Kay Y said... Hmmm - after that information about Belinda I am so curious to see her wearing this (hehe). Seriously, this is a great-looking casual cardigan! 12/6/06 1:31 PM
Erica B. said... Beautiful cardigan... that fabric is gorgeous! 12/6/06 2:14 PM
frame said... Your fabric is beautiful. Your cardigan looks great. 12/6/06 2:37 PM
CarolynGM said... So who is modeling the lovely cardigan? Is it Maria or is it Belinda? 12/6/06 7:05 PM
BeckyC said... I love the look of this jacket. The fabric is perfect for this style. 12/6/06 8:20 PM
Modiste Madness said... I covet your sweator knit. It is a perfect match for the pattern. It is so nice that your evil twin counts sewing skills amongst her other fine qualities. 12/6/06 9:41 PM
morzel said... Wow, that looks great! I just love that casual look of the jacket, length is great! I do have that pattern here but didnīt get around to sewing it yet... That will have to change! I think this version without collar better than this huge collar you had on the last cardigan. 12/8/06 2:39 AM
