Finished: The simple black cardigan



From: 1000 Sweaters
Yarn:4 balls of Lion brand Baby Soft Yarn in black
The origin: I wanted a black cardigan, but i'd never found one that worked for me.
What I especially like: The fit, it's pretty close, except that the arms are a little short.
What I should have done differently: Next time, i promise i'll learn to block things, i'm just such an impatient person, that i couldn't wait while it dried.
Total Cost for project: approxamately $25+buttons that i haven't bought yet

sorry about the crappy pictures, i was super lazy
i love my new sweater, it's in acrylic, but i don't like things to be too soft (i'm weird), and it's pretty comfy. Next time i think i'll splurge and go with a nicer yarn, but this was good for a second sweater.
It's a little lopsided in the front, but i think if i wash it and let it dry flat that will go away (next time i promise to block i swear!)

All in all, i think it's a winner. It'll get some wear.

I bought Knit and Tonic's Fad Classic pattern yesterday, but i don't have yarn yet for it, unfortunately so i'll have to make a purchase soon!

also, check out the new specs i think they're pretty nifty
