Checked gauge. About 1/2 bigger than the what the pattern calls for. I think I will go down a size so this doesn’t turn out huge.

9.27.09: Knitting the body in one piece. Bottom ribbing is done and about to start the cables. Enjoying the yarn so far.

Notes on the lining….
The lining was super easy to make. I didn’t use a sewing machine at all. If I remember correctly, the fabric is all one piece. Basically, I just laid the fabric out over the cardigan and cut the fabric to the size I wanted. I do remember making the fabric about 1” bigger than the size I wanted to allow for seams. After the piece was cut, I ironed a 1/2” seam all the way around and then just hand sewed the fabric into the cardigan.
