It's DONE! Okay, it's not blocked yet but that doesn't count... Does it? It started out as the
Tahoe Cardigan from
Knitty, but I tailored almost everything to suit me. I made the sleeves narrower from the elbow to the wrist;I knit the hems in the same yarn as the body rather than a contrasting color; I shortened the overall length and I gave it a little bit of additional shaping in the chest to better accommodate my more ...ahem... generous curves. In the end it is a basic beige everyday sweater. The pics are crappy but there you go.

I really love the picot edge on the sleeves and the green raku buttons. They are just enough detail to keep the sweater from being overly boring.
Jasper doesn't understand why I was disturbing his nap with all this photography....
