What's been taking up most of my time

[motorharp]

I can't tell you how glad I am this is done.  I love it!  I've been working on it pretty steadily even though I: 1) hate cables and 2) had many other things to do.  And of course, just as I finished, the weather got warmer.

The pattern I used was a previous cardigan I picked up at a thrift store, debating all the while because it was "expensive" for a thrift store sweater, which I then wore out because I loved it so much.  It was originally Banana Republic that someone had felted a little bit, and I added the front button band and neckline bow from the Tri-Stitch Cable Sweater in "A Stitch In Time" by Susan Crawford.

You can see a teensy bit of the skirt I recently made (and love, too!) in the pic, too.

I love it! I want to be as good a knitter as you someday. (Says she, who is pondering reknitting the sleeve she just finished because it's not quite right :P )

what a gorgeous cardigan! I love hand knits but realistically know I won't get much done so long as I live in a hot humid climate.

How smart of you to replicate a cardigan you've loved so much :D
