I decided that instead of sewing the lace onto Annika's cardigan, I would knit it on. I picked up stitches around the edges using a circular needle. I'm purling the last stitch of the lace knitting with a stitch from the circular needle on every wrong side row to join the lace to the cardigan. There are a lot of bits of wool attached to the cardigan - those are my markers to help me pick stitches up evenly. At one stage I thought I'd been too clever for my own good, but I think it's turning out alright:
The lace edge is beautiful! I would rather knit it on than sew it on.
