Springtime Lavender

Here is the panel I chose for the lavender cardigan fronts from a 1990 issue of Zaza magazine.

This was the most complicated chart that I have used to hand select the needles on the knitting machine, and the first front took a long time to knit. It was slow to work but not tedious, and I only had to fix two or three errors. I love the border pattern with the meandering line formed by YO's.


Here's how the panel looks on the completed front:


Now I am going to go hang the other front on the machine. I traced out a mirror image of the lace chart to work the other side. I finished up the knitting on the cafe cardigan the other day, but I haven't started the finishing work yet.
