The Driftwood Cardigan by Martha Lubbers was pretty much exactly what I was looking for, but with buttons, instead of the much wanted zip. So, knit almost exactly to pattern (which hardly ever happens, I'm usually such a rebel), here is the Driftwood.
As ever, my zipper seems to be pulling up the bottom hem, but eh...can't be bothered to sew baking ribbon on. Here are my notes, it's important to log every single line of knitting when most of your attention is taken up by Season 6 of The Walking Dead.
Squid has now asked for two pockets to be added to the front as he has no where to stash his cars, so we'll see how I'm feeling. I've got plenty of yarn left. I somehow calculated that I'd need three balls of Paton's Fab DK, so bought 4 just in case, and ended up using a little over 1.5 balls. Hmm. It's a pretty nice acrylic to knit with actually. But I'm a bit bored of grey now.
It's been a while since I hand sewed a zipper in, and I'm pretty pleased with how it came out, nice and flat. It could do with a ribbon or webbing backing, but like the pockets, I'm lacking enthusiasm. Still, a lovely straightforward pattern, and easy too.
