I have finally finished and we're heading into Winter. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I was nearly finished this before we started the Ruju Cardigan but when I tried it on it was too big and the plain garter stitch was too stretchy due to the weight of the cotton combined with Garter stitch. I also had used 3 different contrast colours but they didn't show up as well as this light blue I finally settled on. I used 100% Cotton from my stash, and had to do a bit of tweeking with Needle size. But I'm proud to say I did a descent size Swatch Guage that I actually wet blocked. I'm so proud of myself.💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 I altered the end of the pattern as I thought the straight look of the original design would enhance the size of my bust and I'd rather not do that. I'm really really happy with the result, it could be a bit longer at the hem but I'm pretty sure after wearing it a few times the weight of it will stretch it.

I started yoke meditation 1 three days ago, and I stopped the first attempt after 10 cm because the sweater would have been much too big with my yarn. It's really fun to knit this sweater!

Amber Blossoms sweater moves forward 🥰

Clearly I still do not know how to button up a cardigan correctly ( and my husband taking the photos didn’t notice it or mention it if he did!) but the lighting in the first picture shows the colors the best!
