First time working with Malabrigo Lace weight yarn
I was concerned about the fabric - but have found it's fairly substantial.
Not lacy, just light weight
in this top-down seamless cardigan.
It's so simple,
just Stockinette stitch.
Check out my Rav Project Page for more about the ADRIFT pattern.

This cowl knit in Malabrigo Worsted
began as a slouchy beret.
Worsted weight yarn - slouchy - Gerry's head
do not make for a compatible outcome.
The Cable/Lace pattern [Nouveau Bohemia] is a real winner.
I l♥ve it.
Rather than frog the Slouchy
I decided to make it a cowl.
This is going to be great when winter really sets in.
Not only warm, but really soft and lovely feeling.
