But I expect it is still doable!

If I ever become a grandmother it might motivate me to try a cardigan (button bands, yikes!). Until then I will try my hand at making it into a pullover. (I think you already did a post related to that, right?)

If I've cut the yarn too close to the fabric, the yarn end tends to poke out on the front side after washing. Leaving it longer, it will stay on the inside.Kristen Rettighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176342218828307690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4518581225469894527.post-84342379477004807502015-10-28T13:48:21.472-07:002015-10-28T13:48:21.472-07:00Hi Venice.

I work mostly with wool and some cottons, and as long as they are the same weight and both machine washable, for me, it always works. I'll amend my post to include this.Kristen Rettighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176342218828307690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4518581225469894527.post-88478302136751884082015-10-28T08:26:23.480-07:002015-10-28T08:26:23.480-07:00That are both so very cute!

I see that the yarns you mentioned have different fiber content. I've always tried to match the fiber, and wonder if I've restricted myself too much. Would you care to comment further on this?Venice Smithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4518581225469894527.post-35459413671059396382015-10-28T02:07:56.713-07:002015-10-28T02:07:56.713-07:00Lovely sweater!
