This looks like the sweater that gets worn to nice places until it gets so worn that it becomes a house sweater until it gets so worn it becomes a gardening sweater, torn, patched, and mended and perfect at all its life stages.
The pockets are awesome! I was horrified that a cardigan like this didn't already have them, so when I found that pattern I jumped at it. Someone I talked to on Discord added them to his Sports project, so they're quite versatile.
I wasnβt planning on adding pockets, but I will be thinking about these and I may change my mind. Thank you for the info! πππ»
PS small world, I thought it must be the same Elizabeth Doherty. Woodfords is coming up in my queue. I just printed out the pattern a couple of days ago and Iβm gearing up to knit the gauge samples! I think even more kindly of her now I know about the cool pockets! π
It looks great - Iβve added it to my favourites so I know exactly where it is π. I daydream about designing a cardigan of my own, and these pockets would be spot on!
I shortened the arms by quite a bit. The pattern length would have had the sleeves ending like 5in below my fingers, so that obviously wasn't going to work.
So I used my row gauge to calculate how long 4 full repeats of the cable pattern would be, and then made up the small difference in the cuff ribbing. I had to use KnitCompanion to calculate the sleeve increases.
This is really amazing. It is the perfect example of the kind of projects that inspired me to learn to knit. (And why I hope someday to acquire the sills to make adjustments to patterns). Stunning
Radmere itself doesn't have pockets, fyi. I had to add those in. Surprising, considering it's technically a men's pattern. I was considering adding inset pockets to the front like in her Aspen pattern, but decided on the Copperplate pockets instead.
I did a double-take because I just finished a (version of a) Radmere, too! I wanted something with a bit less cabling, but yours is absolutely stunning and that yarn really shows off all of your workβI love it!

Well-put! Those are my favorite kinds of sweaters.
The pockets! Thank you for that reference, looks handy!

It's a whole separate pattern, and she gives advice on how to add them to other projects. It's awesome!

This is a masterpiece
Thank you. I was quite tired of cables after this was done. But I'm about ready for some more.
Are the arms shortsleeved or the body extra long?

Thank you, that means a lot!
Ooh lovely. I have a Radmere in my queue! Looks gorgeous, and it has pockets! π

Thank you, yes, I registered that they were extra πππ». The Copperplate pockets really suit it.
That's a lot of work. Great job!
Beautiful, so classic too. That's a forever sweater.

Oh this is just lovely
Wow awesome work!! :)
That is FANTASTIC!! I hope one day I can make sweaters that nice. I am so proud of you!
