Flame

Specs:
Pattern: Flame Cardigan from Vogue Spring/Summer 2005
Yarn: Old stashed merino/angora I think?
Gauge: 32st over pattern repeat
Needle size: 6US

And from the back:

I chose to not add that funky crochet bit between the ribbing and the upper pattern, and I lengthened the ribbing, 'cause I'm just not a cropped kinda gal. And you remember when I messed up that sleeve pattern? You can't tell. If you see me at the Sheep and Wolf Estival, you might pick it out, but not from a trotting horse. Or as Janine says, "If you're that close, you'd better be putting money in my garter belt." Or something like that.

And the Iris:

This is, without a doubt, my favorite sweater I've ever made.

The sweater is BEAUTIFUL! You should be very proud of yourself. It looks professional and personal, at the same time!

I found you when googling for a hot-water bottle cover for Xmas gifts. I read all through your posts and you have some beautiful knitting going on. Thanks for sharing!

THAT sweater pattern is the Summer VK? I had no idea. Your mods/modeling have turned a forgettable pattern into something awesome! Thank you!

Hey, I was just looking through some old Knitty articles and stumbled onto your "Knitting is Sexy." This sweater is great; I love the pattern.

Love the cardi on you. You look fabulous dahling.
Was it difficult to make? I have noticed alot of corrections posted for that pattern and it kinda looked confusing. I'd love to know if you had trouble.

I love this sweater and need to get my hands on the backcopy of Vogue! Thank you for the great photos and the bit about lengthening the torso!
