So, I thought I wanted to make the Geodesic cardigan. After a couple of false starts, it turns out I didn’t want to make it at all. I wanted to make something similar – I love those slightly sheer laceweight cardigans. Lots and lots of sheer stocking stitch. And I like structural details with plain knitted fabrics. Especially pleats. So, I had this mental image of a fanned pleated yoke on a v-neckline for my cardigan. And it worked. The maths worked out perfectly. I have gently sweeping pleats fanning out from the point of the v-neck up to the collar.
Consider me well chuffed.

Having made the Geodesic Cardigan myself, I can assure you that you made the right decision! Your pleats look gorgeous – can’t wait to see how the project turns out.

Oh my gosh, this is gorgeous! Utterly, completely and way more sumptious than just gorgeous, but you get my drift.
I am so jealous!
Are you going to write it up and put it up on Ravelry? I would be absolutely delighted!
