This cardigan coat is worked seamlessly from the top down, with a creative and challenging construction. Are you ready for a wonderful festival of cables, lace and color?
All of the Lights was inspired by the city lights in NYC, one of my favorite places to visit.
I had so much fun designing this piece. At first I thought that the cables and lace would be obscured by all the color in the yarn, but I was so wrong! The exaggerated patterning really worked wonderfully.

If you have a moment to take a look at the detail pics, please pay attention to my favorite parts: The back neck and the pocket edgings. I am so proud of these… ❤️
