Crochetdude's Cardigan....Hi y'all. In the summer I made a cardigan for the Crochetdude but it was hush hush because it was for publication.Take a look at my blog for the pics....... http://playfulyarn.blogspot.com/ |

I'd be shouting it out, too!
Great job and such a fun project to do. |

That's so cool, Lisa! I like that sweater/cardi, too. I'll keep a look out for it, too. Although I know our WalMart doesn't have it. (They don't have anything.) Congratulations!

Here is a better pic of it..........Drew sent it to me this morning. Much better than my photo..........
And thanks so much everyone for your nice comments. This really was a nice sweater to make and the yarn was nice to work with to. |

You did good.. |

We need a fainting smiley....  Lisa did you get to keep the sweater? That is so cool, I can't get over it. I am going to have to see if I can find that book now. I really like it on the "model".
I just ordered it online. (I'll never find it around here...)

No, I didn't get to keep it. The actual sweater you see in the book and on the model is the exact one I made. It was the one that was sent to the publisher for photos etc.
Pretty cool huh? I do think I'm going to have to make myself one though...I really like the way it turned out. |

That is a beautiful sweater! Congratulations on a job well done, and good luck with your designs. I don't think you could have a better mentor! | ||
| TX CrochetLover |
Oh, that is one exciting news flash! WTG girl! The Dude is a very cool guy and it is a tribute to you that he would be your mentor. I wish the very best with your design endeavors and it couldn't happen to a nicer person! I mean that. | ||

Awww....thanks TX.....that's so sweet | ||

Lisa I got my copy in the mail yesterday.
There's a really cute shell in there, too (also by Drew). It looks knitted, but... I didn't really look... Tina |

Calls 'em like I see 'em! |

Yes Tina, the other pattern by Drew is knitted. I'm tellin' ya...one of these days I'm going to knit as well as I crochet!!! | ||
| Mom w/a Motif |
I bought eight skeins today of Lion brand Wool-Ease... I didn't know how many/much I would need. Apparently I need at least one more.... (sigh) They didn't have any colors I liked in the Red Heart Soft. (I wanted to get the same color you used.)

Are you making the cardigan? If so, that's awesome!! Just a note though, I'm not sure you will need another skein of yarn. I forget how many I used to be honest with you.... so don't quote me, I could be wrong.
I did enjoy making it though ............. |
||
| Mom w/a Motif |
Yes, eventually... I would like to get some other things finished first, though.

I do also. Would you consider them beginner/intermediate friendly? I attempted a shrug this summer. I know, I know in my head the pattern is not difficult yet it messed with my head badly and I put the yarn down and haven't picked any up since. I'm invited to a craft circle this Saturday and I have decided I will complete the ducky afghan for my daughter (now THAT I can handle); and hopefully that will get my confidence back up. I so want to crochet skirts this Fall.

This sweater I would not say is beginner but not advanced either, so I guess intermediate. It has a lot of decreasing in it as well as cable and cross cable stitches. Once you get the hang of it it works up pretty quickly though. And the RH Soft yarn is very nice to work with too, which is what I used for this sweater. | ||
