Just testing gauge at the moment, but I will probably start this week. This colour is stunning

Finally started this yesterday, was up way to late:) a struggle to get up this morning…. Always so fun to start a new project! Very clear instructions and just the look i love. reminds me of the “foxglove vest”. This one also seems to be a quite simple one for this weekend when i am travelling again, and need a project that allows me to be social smile

Finished it yesterday. Quite big size and the arms were sooo long. Didn’t want to remake so i CUT them off! open_mouth Felt so scared about doing this, but found some nice videos online on how to doing this. Everything went well, and all of it looks better. Now in the finishing with pockets and doing the attached I-cord on the front. Not so easy since my cat seems to have fallen in love with my new cardigan, perhaps I can have it as a (luxury) catbed if its too big for me after blocking this weekend?

Sumary of the total experience - this is a really nice easyread pattern, and I really recommend it. I will probably do it again, BUT one or two sizes smaller and in a more “light” yarn
