#3 Completed for Finish it February
This cardi was completed and worn for many years. Bought new buttons for it 2 years ago, and finally sewed them on.

I made this in, I’m guessing, 1990. I had the book, Sasha Kagan’s Big & Little Sweaters and had loved the pattern, but then I came across it at a yarn shop in kit form -- on sale -- so I snatched it up.

I remember taking it to work with me every day to weave in ends during my lunch hour, because I knew I’d never have the fortitude to do it all at the end. Some rows on the back had more than 30 color changes, most of those worked as separate bobbins.

I’m proud of the sweater, but not so gung ho on the fashion of it any more.
