Cardigan update Hiya everyone, been another busy last few days but I have managed to do more on the cardigan I’m knitting and thought I would give you an idea of how it’s looking in the video I did. I’m not reached to where to the pockets are going to be and you can also see how the pattern is going. I hope to get the pockets knitted and in place come the weekend, hopefully before then, but that depends on many things between now and then.
An update on how the cardigan is going. mannmadeknitting.com

@MALUSE Yes I do, however I'm from the middle of the country, lived in the midlands for 40+ years before moving first to the USA then back to the UK and in the south-west part of the UK now.

@kevin1877uk I've listened to your accent. Do you live in the south of England?

@kevin1877uk I guess so. My daughter picked it up right away. I didn't and still don't. I was 12 when I took my lesson's. My daughter was 19 when she learned from a friend. I am 55 and still don't get it.

I watched your video of the cardigan update. It is beautiful. I love cablework. Not real crazy about doing it though.

That looks amazing Kevin. When I look at your work I really feel like I need to improve my knitting skills. I've never even tried to do cable work.

Cabling is easy, all you are doing is just moving stitches around.

@kevin1877uk I guess I'm just lazy. I like to knit while watching television so I prefer to do patterns that don't require me to look at what I'm doing.

Your handwork is so exceptional. I have never knitted cables but am told they take little time to learn how to do them.

Thank you, cabling is really easy to do, it does take a little long to knit a row when you are doing the cabling part.

@kevin1877uk I have been told by a few that they will be glad to teach me how to do cables. However, none have stepped up to do that.

The design is lovely and you are doing a great job. I don't know where you are thinking of putting the pockets but I remember one cardigan I had which had one pocket on either side and in which I could comfortable place my hands and I enjoyed walking about with my hands in the pockets of that cardigan.

You are an English man as I have noticed in your British accent. I love the design and I know how to make them. In fact I was making this kind for my sons pullover when he was still a child. Gorgeous colour as well. So, you are one of the men I know who love to knit. Very creative

That certainly is a beautiful cardigan, it looks like an Irish one I bought in Ireland last year, pretty much the same color too.
