I finally finished knitting this little number which I have decided to call Princess Peplums

I didn’t really plan this. I wanted something lacier and drapier but the yarn would not have it.
I swatched the lace and even figured out all the increases and shaping I needed. I even cast on for it 3 times and each time knit a few inches. But the yarn would not comply.

The yarn always knows best. It knows exactly what it wants to be and in retrospect I think the yarn was right. It is a beautifully saturated cotton sports weight yarn and it knew that it would not do the lace any justice. It would not drape or block the way lace likes.
So I frogged and started a nice simple cardigan with a peplum. I also had no idea peplums were cool, but apparently they. Yes, I am so trendy that I don’t know it.

I am happy with how it turned out.

Now I just need to make a pretty dress to go with it and write a pattern up (and grade it eeeeeek!!!!).
