spring stripes cardigan

i finished the cardigan last week, & little O has been wearing it pretty much all weekend, 
the pattern was very quick & easy, despite a small mistake in the 1-2yr size on the sleeves, (the first one i did came out a little too short, so i had to re-knit it having noticed the mistake whilst knitting the second one)
it's knit up in some rowan cashcotton DK yarn, which is just so soft & lovely to work with, it used very little too, i started with two ballls of each colour, but had about 45g of a 50g ball left of the pink & about 35g of the green left,
the pattern goes up to about 7/8 years, so i'm sure i'll knit it again, you can find the details over on my ravelry page,

i had a lovely relaxing weekend, & have been at the sewing machine again, i do have something to share, but no photos yet! but lets just say i'm feeling ever so proud of myself, i'll be back soon with a little snippet!

  8. That sweater looks great, I like the combination of pink and green. I haven't knit with that yarn, but it looks so soft and lovely.
