I am pleased to announce that test knit request for my next pattern release – the Sweetpea Cardigan Lite – has now been sent out.

This pattern is the same basic construction as the Sweetpea Cardigan, but in a lighter fingering weight yarn. It is still made in one piece, with no seams, and is quick enough to work up in a couple of days!
