I am hoping that this blog will help you and me experience the craft of crochet as well as knitting. During times of silence or turmoil, crochet and knitting continuously help me quiet my mind at my own pace, enabling me to find my center. I am also sharing my SECRET persona, Lt. DAX, my life in code while living in Bajor. Maybe fiction maybe not is up to you to decide. Peldor Joi!!!

Cardigan Seams and Sleeves Start
I finally got this cardigan joint at the shoulder seam. I guess if I was making this again I would have left the stitches live and join them in some kind of grafting. I am not super happy with it, but I can live with the results until I get it assembled completely and then do like a duplicate stitch kind of touch up at the seam on the shoulder. Is not really crucial, I can live with it, but this is so much cable work that it would be a shame to not really make it more beautiful , ha, ha, ha.
Today I did the cast on of the the two sleeves, I have a feeling that I will need to improvise in this pattern and make a gusset for the sleeves, but it is too early for me to think about that. I have not made that many sweaters or Cardigans to say that I have the experience that tells me it will fit. We shall see once the sleeves are done. Thanks for stopping by.
