Norwegian Cardigan
Finished!
Originally uploaded by lolee - knits
This project took much less time to complete than my Norwegian pullover. Probably because I wasn't afraid to steek and knew what to expect when sewing in the sleeves.
I used the garter stitch border with mitred corners in Knitting Around and also the sewn cast off which works wonderfully well with garter stitch.
The cardigan is shorter than I thought it would be but it's not too short and overall I'm very pleased with this project.
As usual when a project goes well I'm planning my next one. Hopefully a multi-coloured cardigan with my Peace Fleece single skeins.

I love it in green and white! And since wool sweaters tend to grow in length, I bet it will be the perfect size before long.
