ReplyDeleteI made a really pretty cardigan with Cascade 220. Unfortunately I didn't check my gauge so it is a little small. It was the first sweater I ever made and an educational experience.

Love the softness and stretch!
ReplyDeleteI've made several scarves and hats with cascade yarn. Love the colour selection.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Cascade project is the first sweater I knit without a pattern. It's in purple 220, a bit itchy, so I use it as an outside sweater, always worn over something. I love it. Top-down raglan with 3/4 length sleeves. Classic! Special mention goes to my first project EVER, a catnip whale knit out of Cascade 220 green heather. It's ripped almost to shreds but my cat still pulls it out of hiding now and again. It's a keeper! ~ knittingwithwords on Ravelry
ReplyDeleteMy first sweater was for my son made out of Cascade 220 Sport; it had sheep on the yoke! Fitting since we raise Shetlands!

ReplyDeleteMy first and only attempt at knitting argyle in the round was a hat (complete with ear flaps and a pompom on top) that I knit for my then boyfriend, now husband. Since then, I've been slowly adding to my Cascade stash for a "someday blanket." I'm currently working on a cotton log cabin blanket for my baby boy, but I would love to make a wool blanket to keep by the couch for family snuggles!
ReplyDeleteI commented on Facebook, but I'll repeat it here - a lovely aran sweater I made with a heathery purple 220 years ago. I still get compliments every time I wear it.
ReplyDeleteI have a lovely jumper pattern that would work perfectly with cascade 220, I have only made socks so far in it :)

However, I did Ruby Red out of a Cascade book out earlier this year .. out of Cascade 128 SW.. very yummy.. made it bigger for ME.... and then a huge squishy log cabin throw out of MAGNUM... Extremely warm... Live in Texas, but I don't care.. it is a fabulous throw.

The throw is gorgeous - I knitted a big Irish flag as a joke present for some rugby friends using Cascade 220 - the orange is perfect!
ReplyDeleteIt had its world première at Twickenham a couple of years ago at a Six nations match but during the celebrations that followed, the idiots left it in a pub. I have always wondered what happened to it. Bit like a Mayfly - it only lived for a day but what a day!It even appeared on TV during the match, talk about .15 seconds of fame.....
I would take much better care of this lovely throw.
Mara shawls in sport superwash for my preschoolers - very cute
ReplyDeleteMy favorite so far, is a pair of squishy comfy slippers made from Cascade venezia... I'm in love with the colors in this afgan though, it would match my house so perfectly.
