Douglas Cardi

Today I spent time putting together new colour combinations for the Douglas Cardi (pattern purchased on Ravelry). We knit our store sample in Cascade 220 Heathers and that is what I used for the kits. While I was making the kits I realized that we are out of colours for some of the original kits so those have been ordered and should be here early next week.

This is our store sample and it is the third size. Lynn thought it would be too big for her but it is perfect.

The Douglas Cardi is a grandpa-style cardigan complete with stripes, big pockets, and a relaxed fit. Named for my father, who is now fondly known as Grandpa Doug to my kiddos, it reminds me of when I spruced up my school uniform with my own grandpa’s golfing cardigan when I was in middle school. I love to amp up my cozy with this sweater no matter the outfit! This sweater is knit from the bottom up with afterthought pockets and a sewn on button band.

This is Lynn’s cardigan.

See the kits. If you like a colour that is out of stock, please contact me and I will let you know when the yarn arrives. 

Here are the combinations that I put together today.

Lynn sent a better picture of her Jaunty.

Our movie last night did not get any better. Beth has taken the remote from me and I’m not allowed to choose tonight’s TV. Now it’s on her. She said she’s going to pick something we’ve already seen to make sure it’s good. 

Now onto my knitting!
