The Lost Road Trip Cardigan

I finished up another design last weekend using my “yarnicorn” yarn from We Are Knitters! Right when I had the idea to do a distressed lived in style cardigan, I knew it was going to be a love it or hate it. I love distressing, whether it’s jeans, sweaters, hoodies, anything! It always makes for a cozy vibe. But rumor has it, I didn’t see them, my sister told me there were some not so nice comments on the IG post when We Are Knitters shared it. 😂

This cardigan used 5 skeins of We Are Knitters wool, and is knit on sizes 15mm and 25mm needles! I love using the 25mm needles with big wool as it shows it off and gives it a softer texture.

I’m in love with the colors of this yarn. It’s one of those things that you just sit and stare at and marvel at the beautiful colors. They’re so good.

When I was knitting this sweater, the images that crossed my mind were of an early morning, colored skies, coffee, and on the road to somewhere new. Anywhere. Just to get away. The Lost Road Trip Cardigan seemed to be the perfect name.
