Denim Joy


Almost two months ago I knitted another Kim Hargreaves's cardigan - Joy. It is one of my most favourite patterns and knitting it with this delicious Drops Muscat 100% cotton was truly joy. The cardigan is a surprise present, which is the reason I'm posting about it so late.


Two months later I have almost forgotten the modifications I made. I knitted the body seamlessly and elongated it a bit, my gauge was different from the pattern, so I made my own calculations - and I made the button holes much smaller than the described in the pattern. And did I mention that this is my third Joy and I still don't have one for myself :)


Pattern: Joy by Kim Heargreaves
Yarn: Garnstudio Drops Muskat  100% cotton, 450 g
Needle: 3.5 mm, 4 mm
Time to knit: one month


This must be one of my most favourite photosessions ever! We were hiking in Rila today and I had brought the cardigan with the dress and the shoes in the car for an eventual photosession. And then on our way back I noticed this field with rolls of hay. What a perfect scenery!










Rila in the background, rolls of hay in front, love it!
