The more I look at this little cardie the less I like it. I love the colour and the texture of the wool. However I don't think I will be giving this little one away. This was from another Mission Falls book. but I didn't have the list of abbreviations so I didn't realise that this pattern should have done in "Seed Stitch" (abbv. SS) which I would be more incline to call a "Moss Stitch" (aka knit one purl one every row). "SS" to mean means stocking stitch... so I did.
I did some moss stitch for the collar and I think that looks nice. Close up it doesn't look that bad, I suppose. The stitches are even and the colour is nice. Its just the edges look a bit rough and lumpy. At the end of the day if I had only done some moss stitch or a garter stitch at the bottom of the body it may have turned out better.
Oh well. Lesson learned.... read the abbreviations before you start.
