My sister is getting married this November and since I’m the only bridesmaid I get to pick whatever dress I want – mwahaha. We’ve narrowed the dress choices down to one that is 99.9% sure to be the one, and now I’m hankering to get started on a handmade cardigan to complete the look. Because, you know….arm fat. And also the wedding is in November. In the quasi-mountains. Here are my top contenders:
First up is Emelie designed by Elin Berglund. I love the lace panel details, and the sleeves look pretty warm.
Also by Elin Berglund is Cecilia. I like that the lace goes all the way around, but I worry about my arms getting cold with the lacy sleeves.
Miette designed by Andi Satterlund is also a good one. It calls for worsted weight yarn though, and I would prefer something lighter. Perhaps modified for fingering weight?
Honeybee designed by Laura Chau may be the best of all worlds – lace all the way around but with stockinette sleeves.
Decisions, decisions! Which one is your favorite? Have you ever handmade anything to wear at a wedding?
