Soon a new Cardigan

All parts are knitted and blocked and it's time to do the seaming. Often it's something I really look

 forward to but sometimes I do postpone it for some time...

It depends on the garment.

It's a while since I knitted a cardigan. To sew a sleeve cap is often a little challenge. Now I'll really see if the gauge was correct all the way.

When swatching the number of stitches are almost always okay but almost never the rows.

And even though it's taken into account it can still change a little during the work.

I've made a couple of small changes of the pattern so I hope that the sewing will need just a little adjustment.

Soon I'll have a new cardigan!

Often I've been thinking that taking a class in tailoring and pattern making would be really useful. Knitting and the knitted fabric with it's elasticity is great to work with but more knowledge in how to get the perfect fit should be awesome.
