A while ago, I showed you a cardigan knit of Rowan Renew in red – the pattern was called Felix, but I made some modifications. Here’s that post, but even better, here’s that sweater:
I knit this in Rowan Renew, which is a yarn made of recycled wool fiber. It has a slight tendency to stripe. (It’s discontinued, so that’s a Ravelry link.) I didn’t have enough red, so I mingled in the grey and changed the edges to be in garter stitch instead of ribbing. I was really pleased with this sweater, so I cast on another. I had more Renew in another colour, enough to actually follow the Felix pattern as it’s written.

Here’s my new Felix:

I think it’s interesting how much difference the ribbing makes instead of the garter stitch edges. I also decreased the sleeves more quickly on the first one because I wanted them narrower. (No  ribbing at the cuff meant that there would be nothing to draw them in.) On this one, they’re done as the pattern specifies. I love this one and know I’ll wear it a lot.

What do you think?
