A Bit of Sparkle

I've finished the fronts of my entrelac cardigan, but I've put it to one side to make a cardigan for Isabel, my granddaughter, for a special occasion. My lys (local yarn shop) didn't have much yarn in natural fibres, which is always my first choice, so I decided to go for glitz instead. The yarn is 'furry' with lots of sparkly sequins. Makes knitting at night interesting!
The yarn is a different thickness to that used in the original pattern, so I have to alter the stitch count. But I'm still using the knitting chart and dimensions. I hope I get it all right!

    I always admire the way in which you can buy different yarns and make them do what you want! Your granddaughter will be very happy with the glitz and bling I'm sure.

    This is another fabulous work of art she has a keepsake from you and makes me wonder what she will create 💖

    She'll Love it!!!
    I've never been able to use any pattern directly due to variance in wool/yarn and nearly always bungling up the gauge.
