Candy Cardi

Hello friends!

I’ve been away for a while, but with a good reason. I am helping my daughter launch her own brand, and we’ve been working around the clock for a number of designs to be brought to life.

As things are getting back to normal, I hope to resume posting more regularly.

Here’s one of the projects that was started in spring, left aside and picked up again in September.

I made this cardi for myself. I used the granny stripe pattern and it is worked top-down. What I love most about it is the enormous sleeves.

What I think is “meh” about it – it’s the collar. Sweet Lord, I tried about 5 times to make it work with it, but didn’t like the final looks, and settled for this one. I imagined it with a Peter Pan collar, but it simply didn’t work.

I am planning another post, showing it off and how to style it with other clothes.
