shalom cardigan - finally

Once upon a time, I started crocheting a sweater for myself. I had a change of heart somewhere along the way and asked you what I should do. 

Yes, that was in October. I somehow ended up doing the unthinkable. I frogged my almost finished sweater (it had no sleeves at that point) and pulled out my circular knitting needles. I was inspired by my blog friend to knit this.

I learnt new stitches and I loved the circulars just like Jenni once said I would!


It has a very handmade look. But that's completely fine with me! I had holes in it too which I mended. Knitters, what did I do wrong? Was I just not paying attention to the tension or did I skip a stitch?


While this project was on the go, I loved the Debbie Bliss cotton so much, that as you know, these two were made as well!




Yes, I really loved that yarn!
