Did I Promise You Some Buttons?
*Ahem*
Sorry about the recent ridiculously long absence. In my defense, I haven't knit a stitch since we last spoke.
The sweater is the February Lady Sweater, the yarn Brown Sheep Worsted. Needles, size 8.
The verdict... eh. I don't see what all the fuss is about. It looks really good on other people online, but on me, it's more linebacker than hip, swingy cardigan. Perhaps its just too big, but I don't have the time, energy, or inclination to reknit it.
Luckily, I am co-directing a big charity auction for school one month from now, and have a lovely handknit sweater to donate!
PS- I wouldn't hold your breath for more frequent posting. I'm barely staying above water this semester- with the auction, four seminars and two lecture classes, plus all the wedding day-dreaming I'm doing, I have no baking or knitting to share and no time to share it!

Good luck surviving the semester!
It looks great,grad it will be a good addition to the auction.
Good Luck with the semester and take a few respite moments for YOU!
SO Beautiful! My LYS is offering a class on this sweater soon and I am considering taking it. I've never knit a sweater before - I hope it looks as good as yours!
