Notes

My mom needed a new project to knit and wanted to offer it instead of keeping it for herself. So I volunteered myself!
I chose the pattern and yarns, waited a few months and here it is: a lovely striped cardigan.
Thanks to the alpaca / merino, it is very soft and warm but also elegant with its silky shines.
Hopefully, the body is longer than preconised (+10cm) - I still find it a bit too short.
