Introducing the Georgina Cardigan
Last week I published my latest pattern, the Georgina Cardigan.
I was inspired to design Georgina by my dear friend Sascha. I offered to knit something for her wedding, and she requested a lacy little bolero to wear with her dress. After a bit of discussion (Sascha is the opposite of a bride-zilla, perhaps a bride-chinchilla) she decided on something a bit more like a cardigan, with 3/4 sleeves and waist length with buttons.
As some of you may gave noticed, I am a bit of a cardiganaholic. It is an affliction that plagues many a knitter, and I am nearly defenseless to its powers. The moment the syllables card-i-guuuh left Sascha's pretty little lips, I already knew what I wanted to do!
Here is one of the sketches I did when I was working out my idea:
I think it turned out pretty close to my idea!
We've just picked the yarn for Sascha's Georgina. It's Louisa Harding Yarns Willow Tweed in color 1. It is knitting up so gorgeously and will really compliment the antique lace in Sascha's dress. I'll be sure to share pictures after the big day.
The pattern is available for sale here at KnitDarling, and on Ravelry. I'd love to hear what you think, so please leave a comment below!

over 12 years agoHow lovely! Boleros are perfect for northern California fall where we don't really get jacket weather. (there's a predicted high of 70 today...). I love the combination of shawl collar, shrug, and deep button bands. I have a friend's wedding in Phoenix coming up in December, and I bet this would be just the thing!
