It's been half a year since I've posted a completed knitting project, so I am very excited to unveil this item. This cardigan was completed in January, but getting the pictures and final measurements kept falling off my queue (as was the case with my last knitting post, which was 3 months post-project completion!).
This lacy cardigan was initial intended to be a summer weight cardigan, but its thickness and drape makes it feel like more of a fall or spring cardigan.
I am not sure if I love the buttons I sewed on the cardigan (just some from my stash) but I really like the bottom lace pattern and the twisting cable borders. I do wish this was a bit roomier of a cardigan and/or a bit shorter, but it's a lovely piece particularly when worn unbuttoned.
