in printIt’s a glorious, sunny day out there and the beautiful pink cherry trees are in bloom and lining my favourite streets in Vancouver. It’s the perfect day for some lacy spring knitting.

The 2013 Spring issue of Knit Simple hit the newsstands earlier this month and the first featured pattern (a two-page spread, no less) is mine! It’s a sweet, feminine cardigan with 3/4 length sleeves and lacy honeybees flying in formation on the fronts and back and down the sleeves.
Slight waist shaping and inset sleeves contribute to the shapely look.
No edging at the hems and cuffs required and it’s finished off with a simple, narrow garter stitch edging for the neck and front bands.
If you work in a chilly, air-conditioned office, the pattern could be easily adapted for full-length sleeves.

My oh so talented daughter. Your design is lovely, Holli.
Go, go Holli…..
Gosh, you are really working it on these lovely summer cardigans! Such fresh and pretty designs. Can’t wait to see more from you!
Thanks! Cardigans are my favourite to wear.
Where can I get instructions for this cardigan. I think it is adorable and want to make it for my granddaughter.
