I don't think I've posted this many pictures since my trip to England last summer! But both of my cardigans are completely finished now, with buttons and everything, so I thought I'd post pictures. I think I mentioned that I'm working on this Mystery 1980s Cardigan™ that my grandmother was working on a few years ago and frankly, neither she nor anyone else knows who it was going to be for, so now I'll get to wear it. It's just plain stockinette, but the yarn variegation is pretty enough. But after that, I'll be completely without a new knitting project! This is Not Good, even though there's heaps on my plate. I have A Game of Thrones to listen to now! But no money. Still, I think I will do some research into a fitted cardigan in black, a nice soft black wool yarn, with some kind of pattern in it, even though I'll probably go blind. LOL.

You are still just as lovely and talented as ever you were, if not more so. :) I wish I could hug you in person! Consider yourself hugged, anyhow. :)

Impressed,
Febobe :)

They're both really nice, but I love the green one especially.

I'm so pleased that you like them. The 'Girl Friday' sweater was a lot of fun to knit- fairly large needles, an interesting pattern, and the yarn is so yummy. I can tell it will get a lot of wear once the weather turns!

Thanks so much! The yarn and the pattern together are a potent combination. I'm hoping to be able to knit one, or if I'm fortunate, a few more on a commission basis through Etsy. The nice thing is that it's just a pattern and the cardigan can be made to order in any size, it just requires drawing up a schematic and being 100% sure of my gauge!

Much appreciated! I'm pretty thrilled with both of them as well. The Mystery Cardigan is also done— but I need to buy buttons for it, too.
