I spent the last couple of weeks knitting Kate Davies' It's got A Bend In It Shawl. The title is a joke in a book I didn't appreciate, but I do appreciate the cardigan.
It an odd construction, it starts with a triangle shawl, and then magically turns into a wrap cardigan.
Most people show theirs closed, but I like it even better open.
At the moment I am keeping it closed with a stitch marker, but once I have decided on the final placement I have some magnetic closures I'll use.
One of the interesting things about this garment is when I finished it it was kind of lumpy, and the sleeves were almost too tight. Then I washed it and then laid it out to dry, and now it fits perfectly.
All in all a practical, warm hug of a cardigan.
