Love how this cardi coming along. Such a fun knit.
Seamless topdown construction. Neck band is knitted 1st and sts are than picked up from it. Cannot decide if I should make short sleeves, long sleeves or 3/4 :-)

I am not knitting that much these days, but slowly all my WIPs are moving along. I could not decide on the length of this cardigan. After much consideration decided on a short cardi, almost a shrug, with a short sleeves. Started knitted on border for this cardi yesterday and I LOVE how it is coming out :-)))

Knitted on border is done on the bottom of the cardi. Also making knitted on border for the sleeves. One down one to go :-)

Being back in college really leaves me very little time for everything knitting related. I am lucky if I can knit few rows a week these days. It only took a month to buy buttons ;-)))) I do miss knitting a little, but my priorities have shifted and it is just have to be like that for a while and I am OK with that :-)
Pictures by my 11 year old son. I think he did an awesome job :-)
I love this little cardi. I love all the little details. It was a labor of love for sure. I have some yellow linen in my stash and would love to make another cardi for the next summer with it. The only thing I might do differently is to have a slightly different increase angle for the fronts.
