This is one piece of my Holiday knitting that I am particularly proud of:
I am proud of it for a couple reasons:
1) The seaming, finishing, and other minor details turned out perfect (funny how that happens when you are knitting for a stranger)
2) I pretty much made up the entire pattern. I used 1 skein of Not-Charcol-But-Really-Navy Cotton Ease, just over 2 balls of Knit Picks Main Line in Butter Pecan, and size 6 Addi's.
This was a commissoned piece for a co-worker, so I didn't feel so bad breaking my "no-buy yarn" policy before the wedding when this came across my screen. I got enough in color 135 for the Fitted Knits Short Sleeve Cardigan. I couldn't resist - even with shipping it was less than 35$

What a great way to start the new year! Hi, from a new reader, and fellow ravelry girl. I've been reading (re: lurking) for a few weeks, but I decided the new year was a good enough excuse to say hello!

ooh nice sweater... i'm getting to the point where i'm realizing that almost ALL of the sweaters I knit i'm going to have to modify to fit my bust... my TINY TINY BUST... which i'll just say is because i'm a tiny person and not b/c i'm flat.
can't wait to see what your sweater looks like
oh... by any chance, you think going down in yarn weight is an easier way to customize a sweater to fit smaller, or do you think i really need to sit down and bust out some math?
Oh my gosh, gorgeous! I love stripes and these are the perfect colors.
