This is the short sleeve cardigan with ribbing from Fitted Knits. I started it on 4-2-08 and completed it on 4-15-08. Talk about your quick knits. I fumbled around because I made so many goof ups on this, but the pattern is very straight forward and easy. I used size 10 nylon circs for the body, and size 8 nylon circs for the sleeves. The great part was using up some of the stash yarn I had purchased from the thrift store long ago-it's Brunswick Germantown in Dartmouth Green, and it only took 2.5 skeins. Talk about your budget projects. I definitely give this one a thumbs up for fit, because it really does. Sorry my photo doesn't quite show you those buttons...they're sunflowers. People, it is sooo difficult to find 1" size buttons and none were available in green. Then, if I found a button I liked, they wouldn't have 7 of them. I spent forever at Joann's looking, and settled on these. I didn't even bother to block it, and I wore it to work today since we had such unseasonably cold weather. What's next?
I gotta finish the keyhole neck pullover before it gets too darn hot. It's in a cotton acrylic, but once it really warms up, I'll die in long sleeves. I do have my next project picked out, though. It's gonna have to be another Garnstudio one! Happy knitting to all!
