I have adjusted how I hold the needles using several techniques and I simply don’t enjoy it. It turns out that I wasn’t doing anything wrong, I simply don’t care for knitting at this time in my life because it hurts my hands. Knitting has not been enjoyable for me, and I assumed it was because I was doing it wrong. With that being said, I don’t anticipate sharing much of my personal knitting pursuits on the blog or vlog this year. How do I feel about Crochet? I LOVE IT! How do I feel about Knitting? I don’t Love it, but knitted fabric is pretty.

In this case, I would prefer it to have a light and airy look complementing the freshness and newness of Spring. While I typically enjoy the thickness and the bulkiness of crochet fabric, it is not the look I want for the Grogru Green Spring Cardigan. For a Spring garment, it appeals to me much more than using front and back post for a raised look. But after I had more time to work with the material and building myself up to be a bit more adventurous, I decided to add small accents of embroidery to the crochet fabric using the method of surface crochet (click on the hyperlink for a demonstration by Moara Crochet). I have always preferred cardigans to be the backdrop to the rest of the attire. Why so simply, so plain? Well, I chose double crochet to achieve more drape because single crochet is stiffer. There may be a boarder in the front but all stitches will be Double Crochet.

So, I will be making this cardigan with one panel for the back (creating a chain measured from hip to hip) and two panels on each side in the front with sleeves worked in the round after seaming. I knew right off that I wanted a very basic cardigan because I don’t care for lace (open work) or raised stitches on garments.

When deciding on the pattern, I really didn’t have any particular design in mind for this cardigan. I can only imagine how oober soft the fabric will feel after every wash. With 273 yards per hank, I assume it’s a DK weight. Hampton is a luxurious blend of 70% Pima Cotton (my favorite!) and 30% Linen. So, when I found hanks of Cascade Hampton at my local yarn store, Thread Fabric, I purchased a sweater quantity worth (every hank available) and stashed it for a Spring project. I’ve always wanted to own a cardigan with all the Spring feels. May the 4th Be With You – Grogu Green Cardigan
