I’ve come across a couple of cardigan patterns that I really love.
The first is Roosevelt Cardigan. I have Queensland Kathmandu 100 and Madelinetosh Chunky, both of which should work without me having to buy yarn.
Another pattern I haven’t purchased yet but keep going back to just purchased is Carrick Bend. It uses sport weight and while I’d love to try Miss Babs Killington, I don’t have any of it and I do have Madelinetosh Sport and Madelinetosh Pashmina that should work.
I’m pretty determined to use yarn I have here. Now that the chance of eventually moving from TX to Missouri has gone from about zero to about 1% (thanks rattlesnake on the back porch), I really want to use what I have and not add anything to be moved. Even just a little yarn adds up!
Carolyn says
Oh My Yes! When we moved across Texas I almost needed my own moving van just for the sewing room. I’ve even added more to it since then. Shhhh!!! Don’t tell my husband.
Susan says
I really like the Carrick one, though both are nice. You do have plenty of yarn for emergencies. =)
Kay Sorensen says
You really better start using up what you have and not buying more with that 1 per cent increase in the chances of moving! Yet, you will have to move what you knit with the yarn you have!
Judy Laquidara says
I know . . it doesn’t make a lot of sense does it. Use the fabric and you have quilts to move. Use the yarn and you have knitted garments to move. Just can’t win, can I?
Alison says
I love Carrick, but wonder if the neckline is a bit wide?
Amy says
You can send any new yarn to my house. I’ll ship it to you once you move. ;0) LOL

I like both of those sweater patterns! I just ordered a book, so I really shouldn’t be buying patterns right now…
