Finished Object: Cannon Beach Sweater

Pattern: Mountain View Cardigan
Source: Connie Chang Chinchio
Yarn: Fancy Image Hand Dyed
Needle: US 4 for the body, US 3 for the turned hem


I made very few mods to this pattern.  I worked the body as one piece instead of 3, and I added an extra set of increases and an additional buttonhole at the top.  It's a little wonky with a stripey yarn, and if I had to do it over again, I'd probably use a more tonal yarn.  Overall, I think this is a better fit than I've ever gotten with a hand knit, and I'm thrilled with it.

Gratuitous baby picture!
