Minimalist Cardigan - finished!
It's finally finished! Begun September 17th, finished seaming about 2 weeks ago. First wearing - to work the day of our Holiday party. Such a yummy squishy sweater! The guard hairs in the yarn are too itchy for me to wear this with a sleeveless shell like the model in the magazine, but I like the way it looks with a skinny turtleneck too.
Pattern: Minimalist Cardigan
Designer: Ruth Nussbaum
Source: Interweave Knits, Fall 2007
Yarn: Knit Picks Andean Silk in Cranberry, 11 skeins (for 35.5" size)
Needles: US 8.
Pattern mods and lessons learned: do not attempt moss stitch in a dark, moving car. You will have to frog that section. Added selvedge stitches to side to assist in seaming.
Woot! I am all done with my sweater!
Happy Holidays everyone!

Ooooh - it looks greeat! I finished mine in November, and seeing all the other ones in solid colors makes me think I'll be making another soon!
Its fantastic, and I completely agree with you about the selvedge stitches.
Festive and lovely. Nice job!
Gorgeous! Great tip about the selvedge stitches. I'm about to embark on this sweater, and glad for the pointers I'm finding out there from fellow knitters.
