It's official! The cashmere yarn that has graced my stash cubby for almost two years is being put to use. I've joined a knitalong, en français, (called a "tricotons ensemble" or "let's knit together") for the Phildar sweater. Valette, who started the knitalong, has dubbed the sweater "Colchique," which is a flower that blooms in autumn.
Voici, le bouton!

Yippee! I was hoping you would decide to make that sweater! I love it!! Even with the much-mailgned thumb holes. Does this mean you'll be translating this pattern for the rest of us salivating fools?
Posted by: Mary at September 24, 2005 12:27 PMdo you know french? i bookmarked the knit-along, but i'm too scared to knit it until it's translated. maybe someone could send me their translated version? i can't figure out the french instructions and i've never done cable knitting before. :(
i would thank (whoever sends it to me) forever and ever and ever. and ever.
Good for you for joining a knit-along in French! And great pattern choice, for sure. I look forward to pics of your progress...
