I decided to name the pattern after a character in the film La Cité Des Enfants Perdus who always wore red. I was watching that movie while I worked on this version of the cardigan and I decided that Miette the character and Miette the cardigan suited each other.
By the way, these are the pictures that I liked but couldn't go in the pattern. This one didn't make the cut because it has so much random stuff and you can't see the tree branch I grabbed. Can you spy the blue truck, horse trailer, gate with Christmas lights, and/or well pump?
Anyways, Miette is a free download on Ravelry. The cardigan is actually not too bad to wear in the summer because I knit it using Cascade Sierra, though today it was 100+ out. Not really cardigan weather. I've described this design too many times in posts so if you'd like to read more about the cardigan, please check out the first version or download the pattern.

Andi - awesome job on the cardi. It is very flattering! I love all of the detailing in it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! How exciting! :) It looks beautiful in red too and these pictures are great!
ReplyDeleteGoing to download it immediately!
It is beautiful, and an absolutely perfect colour on you. It is 54ºF (12ºC in my neck of the woods) here, and ☂.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, it has been raining for the past 10 days or so, and it is supposed to be the height of summer. I haven't even chanced going outside recently because I haven't been too well, but just standing on the balcony for a few minutes yesterday I found myself in hat, cowl and coat.
Once autumn starts to think about showing its head around the corner your lovely cardigan will help to keep of those slight chills in the evening.
Congratulations on the cardigan. It is gorgeous. I have downloaded already.
