My first attempt at a cardigan below. Just finished it and am very proud. Its a bit large around the chest for me, but I think i know now how to change that measurement in future. I now need to think of my next project. Hmm!

Nice work! I love the color, too.

It looks nice and "comfy" and the extra ease in the chest can really feel good when you're "lounging" around.

Thanks, the wool is Rowan

Thanks, the wool is Rowan scottish tweed chunky, 100% pure new wool. However, this wool has been discontinued sadly. Its a lovely wool and really nice to work with. I luckily found enough online and i think there are a few more out there but apparently it was a very popular yarn. God knows why they've discontinued it. The shade i use is 017 Lobster. The pattern is from Debbie Stoller's Son of stitch n bitch. Its by Jared Flood. There are a couple of misprints in the book which luckily i found out shortly after knitting the wrong stitches. I have just added the pockets to it know. Glad you like it :)

Dave - really nice job. Nothing "just plain" about that! Congrats on your first cardigan. Hoping there are many more in your future. Keep up the good work. By the way it's a great Christmas color.
