Something Finished

At long last, here is my finished cardigan I've been working on for what seems like ages!

Pattern: I started with the Something Red pattern and heavily modified it using the Hey Teach! pattern for inspiration. I added 1x1 ribbing just under the bust to give some shape and then just continued on with plain stockingette for the lower half.

Yarn: Knit Picks Main Line in Dusty Lavender

Needles: US 7 & US 5 (for the waist ribbing)

Notes: I'm fairly pleased with how this turned out! I wish the bottom part flared out just the tiniest bit more but other than that it came out just how I envisioned it. I think it will be a great sweater for this fall. I'm so happy to have a sweater actually finished!

For some reason, the bottom edges of the cardigan look uneven in the pictures but I swear it is an optical illusion. There was no way I was going to put that thing back on in the 105 degree heat to get better pictures!
