alisonknits: New-ish Sweater FOs

Here is my latest design, which I call Rapunzel's Vine. The name comes for the stitch patterns I used - the little braid is my variation on a stitch pattern called Rapunzel's Braid from one of the Barbara Walker treasuries, and the leafy cable is from The New Knitting Stitch Dictionary. I made the sweater out of Cotton Classic on size 5 Addis. Yes, I plan to publish the pattern at some point, but at this point am so back-logged on pattern writing that I can't make any promises as to when. Sorry about that. If I can get out of this whole working three jobs thing anytime soon, I hope to have more time for pattern publishing.

And this is the Minimalist Cardigan from the fall Interweave Knits. I knit it out of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK, which is not a suitable weight for the pattern, so I re-calculated all the stitch counts. I also found that as designed, the sleeves were way too close-fitted compared with the body, so I made them about 2" wider than the pattern called for.
