…or yellow whale, if you will. Having embarked on an Epic Quest for the perfect mustard cardigan over a year ago, guess who FINALLY remembered that she is a knitter capable of making her own? Duhr.

That popcorn stitch was a bit tedious, but I adore the end result. I completely mucked up the sleeves - see how they aren’t entirely bobble-stitch, but also contain a bit of the yarn-over pattern? like, what IS that? - but exactly HOW I mucked ‘em up remains a mystery. (Oh, fine: The majority of this cardigan was knit during football Sundays, which involves quite a bit of beer and very little attention-paying.) Regardless, it’s a subtle mucking, visible only when my arms are raised above my head, and I’m too lazy to rip the sleeves back and do ‘em again. It’s bobble-exhaustion. I’m plumb bobbled out.

Mismatched vintage buttons, because: Why not?

In its finished state, the cardigan proved to be a bit too boxy and not particularly flattering to my body type, a mismatch for which the pattern should not be faulted. Frogged!

This project was my submission for the PomPom Quarterly Winter KAL.
