Judging from the date stamp on the first finished project photos, it has taken about 6 months to get this design test knit and published. Well Armed was worth the time and effort, and I really like this one. It is the fruition of one of those preoccupied obsessions of what if….can I….if I do….. and TADAH! It worked. After some tweaks and improvements the pattern has been finally, today, published.
The version shown here is knit with Malabrigo Rios. And I've knit a second using Shepherd's Wool. A third is on my needles using Rowan Summer Tweed, because I think a silk and cotton version will be perfect worn over a sleeveless dress in an over-air conditioned theater or restaurant this summer.
Love,
Kim

This was such a fun project to knit. Being the "lace challenged knitter" that I am I have worked my way through the lace edge. Love Love this pattern. The sleeves appear like magic right before your eyes. "Well Armed Cardigan" next please. ? :-)
Kim, this is so pretty!
Jaw dropping gorgeous!
I am impressed! You wrote the pattern and have already knit two and one more on the needles! It is gorgeous!
I'm with Dianne. . . WOW! Did you even stop to eat?
This is lovely. Long shawls make so much sense to me and I love the delicate way you did the shoulders and created the sleeves.
