It took me about 3 week to finished the body part of Gathered Cardigan, the amount of stitches on the body part is driving me to the wall.  And I almost drop dead when I try it on, It was the worst moment on my short knitting life.. IS TOO BIG!!!! and it look like I have a big backpack on my back. I really do feel like killing myself over this, I mean this is not this first time my work end up different size but this project are really boring and imagine 380+ stockinette stitch on one row, it really make me go nuts. I have to put this cardigan away, far from my vision.. at least for a few month before I decide what to do with it.

 

 

After much frustration over this cardigan, I need to temporary move away from a big project, I started another Montego Bay scarf. I always want to try Handmaiden Sea Silk, couples months ago I finally decided to treat myself a skein of  Sea Silk. I must said the pattern and the yarn is perfect match, I love it , is worth every pennies. I have done this scarf with slight modification, I use less strand for the fringe and increase the cast on sts to 61sts instead of 43 sts. I think next time I gonna increase more sts, I still think is a bit skinny for me.
