08-23 - I haven’t been working on this as much as I would buy this yarn online

08-09 - After finishing Orleans, knitting with Malabrigo United States
seems like what the doctor recommended for my achy wrists. see all buying options...
As much as it might pill, I am a sucker for this yarn that feels
like knitting with fluffy clouds. I am thoroughly enjoying this
project so far, and the Pigeon colorway is so subtle and iSeL's related bookmarks
gorgeous that I cannot stop looking at it. Let’s just hope the
finished project is just as beautiful!!

Asymmetrical Cabled Cardi
Yahaira Ferreira

A great layering piece that is almost season-less, this asymmetrical a-line

cardigan is knit from the bottom up in reverse stockinette stitch to offset the
scrumptious cables. The cap sleeves are barely knit before you attach them to
the body and begin the raglan decreases. This all leads to the piece de
resistance, and the reason we are all knitting this, the funnel collar! Sew on
your two favorite buttons and layer over a long sleeve tee or under a winter
coat – or don’t, it’s your choice!

Rep the last 4 rows until height desired (knitted sample is 4”).

(this will vary depending on the length of your funnel and how many buttons you
would like to use).

BO loosely.
Weave in ends, graft underarm sts, and sew buttons on left collar.
