I love cashmere

Martha is now ready to wear. I happened to have actually two similar but different coloured A-line blouses that go perfectly with M. Several other tops go well with it. I predict long live out for my Martha.

Pattern: Rowan Studio 2 (Rowan books at GetKnitted), Martha. Easy but somewhat interesting pattern. Decent pattern images with measurements would have been very nice when shrinking the garment…
Yarn: Colourmart 100% cashmere tweed
Needles: 3,5 mm ja 4 mm
Mods: some adjustments to achieve right size with another yarn. Left away the small flap on the edge of collarband. Nice, yep, except if you try to wear the cardigan open.

Some of the leftover yarn end up as wristwarmers for my mom:

She’s not big fan of grey, so I dyed them red with Kool Aid. Good thing for my Project Spectrum.

Pattern: Wristwarmers, Last minute knitted gifts, Joelle Hoverson
Yarn: Colourmart 100% cashmere, gray tweed kool-aided to dark wine
Needles: 3,5 mm dp
Mods: 8 rounds more than in pattern, to compensate vertical shrinkage.

    Norma: I used about one and perhaps a little over half 150 g cone, forgot to weigh the remains. I guess that two cones is well enough for medium sized fitted pullover with long sleeves.
