I made a cardigan!!

Ok, I still need to sew the arms, weave in all the ends, dye it, sew the buttons and block it, but it's off the needles!!


I'm still unhappy about the two tone/dye lot problem, so I will try to tea dye it. I will take pictures as the dyeing process goes along and write up what I am doing so that someone else can use the information if they want (either to reproduce what I've done or to do the exact opposite if it doesn't work.

And yes, the cardigan fits quite well.  It's nice and long, which is great because I added some rows since my torso is so long, and I will be able to close the buttons nicely, so I'm quite excited!  Pictures of course when it's all finished.

Oh and this was a Drops pattern and if I ever mention again that I am doing a project with a drops pattern, please force your way into my house and take all my needles away. (Don't touch the yarn. Bad things will happen to you if you do) I had suffered through a few before and decided it hadn't been that bad, but yes, it is that bad and I won't be doing it again.
