Finished!

Man. I can't believe it. I finished it a couple of days ago, but I didn't like where the buttons were (I put them too close to the edge, so I got more gap than I have now (a little gap is nice and charming, I think, but too much is encouraging sausaginess).

More flattering than I would have thought (except for the pajama pant roll around my waist - not the best look) - the darker pantel I think is actually slimming, with the cables acting like outlines for some sort of modicum of shape.

Oh, who am I kidding. It is REALLY soft and comfy and I think looking forward to its future as a work sweater.

Hey! Can you tell this was taken in my bathroom?

Dang

I can tell you right now that this cardigan is going to, how do you say, not fit?

WHYYY!!!??

I am still going to stitch it up, but goddamn, how close to gauge do I need to get!? Why is it so bizarrely gargantuan?

Bi-color Cables body (blocking)

Being blocked. It looks far more like an actual piece of clothing now.

I haven't sewn up the hem facing, and it still looks a little oogly down there but I will fix that when it is dry.
