it’s blocking
Finally! my blue cardigan is done! It’s currently blocking. Have a gander:
Hopefully this will take care of the issues with the length of the back and sleeves.

Blue Cardigan trimmed
I’m finished putting the trim on the cardigan! It looks really nice….Kinda fancy almost. The trim is mohair so it it kind of looks like it has fur trim. It is a heather blue. Now all I have to do is sew buttons on and then block it. I tried it on and it fits a little weird right now. It feels like the bottom of the back is a bit too short. I hope blocking takes care of this problem.

It’s put together!
My cardigan is sewn together! This was my first attempt at making a sweater that requires extensive sewing up of seams. I think I did alright, but I messed up on some of the seams a little. It looks okay, though. The sleeves are a bit short, but that’s okay, too. Now I have to crochet the trim on it.

Afghan progress
Well, here is square two of my Learn-to-knit afghan. I’m getting there! It’s hard to tell here but the yarn colors are dusty rose and gray. And it is knit in stockinette stitch, as if you couldn’t tell by the curling ends!

Puzzle Pieces
I finished the last sleeve on the cardi today! yay! The loose endz have been dealt with. Now I have to put it all together. Then I put the mohair trim on and find some cute buttons to put on it. At my local yarn shop they sell some really adorable buttons. Hella expensive but, hey, it’s worth it. Sorry there are no pictures.
