I'm the proud owner of 6 skeins of Malabrigo Rios in the Azul Profundo colorway.Malabrigo's colorways are compelling, but Malabrigo worsted is a single ply, and I like hard wearing yarns that don't pill when you look at them funny. When I read that there was a superwash, plied Malabrigo yarn coming out, I had to have some.
I know that I want to make a cardigan, but beyond that, I'm stumped. Yoked or raglan? Buttons or zipper? Ruffles or ribbing? Cables or plain stockinette? Long or cropped? I have a bad case of analysis paralysis.
Potential cardigans are (Ravelry links):
At different times of the day, different cardigans call to me. I'm even thinking about just making a simple top-down cardigan with a boatneck. Maybe I'll learn how to steek, too, since I'm much faster when I knit in the round.
Mmmmm, Malabrigo, and in blue, my favorite color! That's going to be lovely, whatever you choose.
ReplyDeleteYou could do the Tea Leaves cardigan!
ReplyDeleteI love that color. I think I'm one of the few Malabrigo virgins.
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem trying to decide on patterns.
I LOVE the new Rios. It's so soft and knits up lovely.
ReplyDeletetea leaves cardi is a great suggestion. i got 5 skeins of Purpuras in Rios. LOVE IT.
