I need to replace the little cardie I wore all last summer, so I cast on a little top-down cardie in Mission Falls 1824 Cotton(773 Coastal). Unfortunately it isn't working out as I intended. The yarn has a completely different consistency that last year's cardie (ceramic) which was all drape. I probably should have used 5mm or even 5.5mm needles to make it fall a bit looser, but I've already done so much that I figure I might as well finish it up and let it be what it has become (the que-sera approach). I don't know if I'll be into it once I finish, but I always figure that I might use it further down the line - you never know! Regardless, the colourway is knitting up really pretty. :-)
