Notes

Not usually a fan of bobbles, but I quite like how they’re done on this cardi.

The waist was lengthened a bit (~5cm) to accommodate my longish body, but I feel it’s still a little too short. Never the less, I’m still really happy with it, and it all came from stash!

The yarn had a tendency to untwist, which was a little annoying, but it redeemed itself by softening nicely with blocking.

Edited 23/05/10: I decided I wasn’t wearing this cardigan very much because of the button band. So I took it out, added an extra buttonhole (8 buttons in total) and spaced the buttonholes out a bit more evenly. I think it looks much better now.
