Fireside cardigan - finished

This Fireside Cardi *has* been finished for ages but my blogging time has completely been taken over by other stuff (life?!).  So anyway, I am really chuffed with the way this cardi has turned out and I have loooved knitting it - even in the high summer heat!  The one hitch is that one of the fronts has a line 1/2 way up because I didn't check the dye lots when buying the wool - despite Antje at the Yarncake warning me!  Talk about learning through your mistakes....see the line on the left handside when looking at this photo?:


It's Garnstudio DROPS Nepal.

Fireside cardigan

I started this cardi back in May and have never knitted such a big garment in such a fast time - but then the needles are 5.5 and the wool rather chunky (Garnstudio DROPS Nepal)! It has been a labour of love though in the summer heat!  I have finished the back piece and started the 1st sleeve: going alright now, after having unravelled about 5 times!
Finished item in another post soon.... honest!
