I loved working on this sweater, and I love wearing it! It's got some funky areas, especially the buttonband, it kind of pulls when all the buttons are buttoned, but I don't wear cardigans that way, so that's good :) The yarn is already starting to pill, but it's wonderfully soft, light and warm. I used 6 balls of Rowan Cashsoft 4-ply. I really would like a version in the Felted Tweed, I think it would be a nice addition to my closet!

That is so beautiful on you! The most perfect fit. Just absolutely lovely.
How pretty and well fitting! Pity about the pilling, but I would put up with that for a good soft feel. :)
Can't access Robby's blog anymore. :(
BEAUTIFUL!! You did such a great job! It looks good on you too.:)
I cant access Robby's blog either and I need a cute baby fix.
It looks great. The cabling came out beautifully!
Such a great sweater! You did an amazing job!
Look at your Tangled Yoke! It turned out great! I think a tweedy version would be pretty, too.
Great sweater love the yoke. Please tell the story about your cartoon picture. Is it from Strong bad? Also, breastfreeding blog? Still want to talk? I nursed four kids.
okay i should be admiring the sweater - it's a beautiful sweater actually and i love your color choice - but my first thought on seeing the photos was - you have such delicate hands.
i think this would look lovely in the Felted Tweed yarn too. and i'm with you - rarely button up a cardigan.
Oh,wow! this is just gorgeous! Brava, you've done a beautiful job.
It looks great! I used this yarn for a shawl and hated that it pilled already while knitting on it.
How you manage to finish so much knitting with a toddler in the house is totally beyond me. Keep up the good work.
That looks awesome! :)
It is gorgeous and it looks gorgeous on you. Very good work!
Oh that is beatiful! Just perfect!
I'm just now catching up on blog reads and I can't believe I missed this FO! Stunning! I love that particular color - it looks very wearable! I hope you get lots of use out of it, even if you have to shave the pills off now and then!
Looks like it turned out great! That pattern is on my short list... need to score some yarn for that soon.
Happy knitting-
ali
