In 2015 I enjoyed a lovely visit to the Whistlebare Farm studio near Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Northumberland, where I fell in love with all the beautiful yarns and stunning colours.
Somewhat overwhelmed by the choice, and knowing it would take me a while to knit, I played safe and opted for a classic pewter grey called ‘Minnow’, in the Yeavering Bell DK weight.
Fast forward 12 months and a couple of false starts, and I have a Finished Object to show you!
This is an adaptation of a free Drops pattern called Avery, and I have listed my modifications on my Ravelry page, for future reference.
The most notable change is the long sleeves …
The buttons are a temporary measure as I’m hoping to find replacements at Wonderwool Wales later this month and didn’t want to wait until then to wear my new cardigan!
Have you finished a project this week? Or found the perfect buttons that you’ve been hunting for? I’d love to hear about it!
Happy knitting 🙂
Your cardigan is really beautiful, the colour and the pattern match each other perfectly. 😊

Thank you 🙂 It was an interesting project – quite a lot of plain knitting, topped off with some lacework and texture. I’d definitely make it again 🙂

That turned out beautifully! Look forward to seeing it live sometime… 😉
Just starting on the Shetland Triangle if you want to join me!
