Another cardigan

Have you noticed that I'm somehow fond of cardigans? I don't know why...

The latest one kind of sneaked in. You saw a glimpse of a sleeve in the Multitasking entry (but that wasn't much) and then the cardigan was ready while I was busy blogging of everything else.

The colour reminds me of something sweet, possibly of pudding - you know, those small ones you can eat as a snack or a dessert and that taste like caramel or butterscotch/taffy/toffee. (Except that I don't like those, I prefer chocolate.)

I'm especially proud of the collar. First I thought that I would just use the remains of one ball of yarn and keep the last ball for something else.

Then I realised that the collar rose too much and didn't look nice. I also realised that there isn't much you can do with one ball of yarn either, so I knitted the collar some more until it was of the same lenght as the hem ribbing.

Then I realised that the collar still needed something to keep it balanced. I knitted some short rows so that I got a nice curve and the collar got some weight at the back. I'm happy with it now.

Mini's also happy.

The the details: the cardigan took 550 g of Adriafil Nuance, knitted on 7 mm needles. Pattern was my own.
