Happy knitting!
Madeleine,
About krydda; beautiful cardigan, but you need to rethink/rewrite the instructions. Never have I worked with such a mess.
I’m sorry to hear that! This was published and edited by the Knitty online magazine though. Maybe I’ll edit it like I do my other patterns one day, but right now I’m afraid I don’t have the time.
