My Favorite Cardigan

It's Friday and I get to work from home! I don't know who came up with that rule, but I like it. I was going through my closet today and realized that I never took pictures of my Favorite Cardigan sweater by Knit and Tonic that I made earlier this year. You can find this pattern in the Custom Knits book by Wendy. I find her designs very easy to follow and this particular sweater was a piece of cake! It's the first sweater that I have made that actually fits me! O the frustrations of finding out that the frigging sweater doesn't fit after hours of hard work definitely didn't happen with this one! So given I was working from home, I had salad with my mom at Whole Foods and requested that she takes pictures of me wearing it!

 Say hello to my beautiful cardigan! I am so proud of it :)

I still can't believe a sweater I made actually fits me! Wow.... By the way, my mom said my face is as big as the pumpkin. Gotta love my mom!

    Congratulations! I still dream of the day when I will make a sweater that fits me like this one fits you. I just finished Thermal and I'm think of redoing the sleeves, but I'm not sure. Great blog as well!

    That is a beautiful sweater! I still haven't made a sweater for myself (or anyone else! LOL).

    That is just totally gorgeous, I am currently looking for a good cardigan knitting pattern that will fit me too! The cable pattern is fantastic, you did a great job and quite right to feel very proud :) Thanks for your kind words on my Blog and in answer to your questions yes I draw all my illustrations, including those on my Calendar. Have a great weekend, hugs Catherine x

    What a beautiful sweater! You're right, it's a perfect fit. I've drifted away from knitting over the last year or two but I'm going to check out this book!
