More cardigan stalking (with permission)

One of the teachers at school is helping to bring back the man cardigan. And because putting up a blog post is exactly what I should be doing right now, here, I am telling you about it.



















If I make Elizabeth's hybrid, but as a cardi, it should be fairly similar. If I can work out how to do the collar. But maybe I should finish one of the jumpers I am making for my brother first. Not that he looks to be leaving Thailand anytime soon.



















I don't suppose anyone wants to save me from marking/interviews/yr 12s?

Hey, just an idea about the collar. Zimmerman came up with a placket collar (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/open-collar-pullover-october) in Knitters Almanac - she suggested top-down construction though. She put an i-cord edge on it. You could probably experiment to find a self-lined collar method, adding extra rows at the top back of the neck to get it to sit forward a bit..... just an idea anyway....

Cheers
A

Thanks, A. The placket collar looks good. The almanac is the one knitting book that lives in the living room, so it is right at hand.
