Notes

After several false starts, I’ve finally finished this cardigan. I love the way the patterns and colours have worked out. The cardigan has a 1940s feel to it which makes it look quite stylish.
The only thing I’m not 100% happy with is the neckline. It’s too wide - could have done with picking up less stitches around the neck.
