Here it is........ me wearing (proudly, yeah) :thumbsup: my cardigan. It is hard to take a picture of the sparkle. It is not too much but just enough to catch the light.


Beautiful! I've never done a sweater. Was it difficult?

Thank you Laina :hug: I did not find it difficult to make, the difficulty is to have the right size. So in this case swatch is very important, the rest is easy enough, specially this sweater because the only thing you have to sew are the sleeves, back and sides are done in one piece, and the border goes from one side to the other! :thumbsup:

p.s. I just sent you a reply, hope you get it. I don't know why my messages tend to get stuck in my outbox!!!

Well, I'm going to bite the bullet. I just ordered the Bernat Satin "Stone". I don't know yet when it will be delivered. I'm looking forward to this challenge. I've done one other pullover hooded sweater but I haven't finished putting it together yet. So I don't know how it's going to fit.

I don't have the extra time for doing this right now, because I've gotten into Christmas present mode, but I am so looking forward to making this when I get the chance. For now I'm working on 2 purses (both crocheted), an American Flag afghan, another one of those irritating frilly lacy scarf things out of that mesh yarn, and an embroidered table runner and a needlepoint hummingbird picture. I really need to get my butt in gear!!!

I just ordered my yarn to make this cardigan! I see that others have already made it. I got the black sparkle one so that it will go with many of my outfits I wear for work. I am thinking if all goes well, I will make a light colored one as well. I am soooo EXCITED!!!

Cool! Thanks for joining! :) I'm using Bernat Satin Sparkle in Twilight (Black), so I think our cardigans will match! I'm thinking of making another one in Lavender for my Mom.
Your friendly Bernat Lady :D

thank you, :cloud9: this cardigan is comfortable and curiously warm enough for this time of year :thumbsup: Once the foundation row made, the rest is an easy ride and goes pretty quickly, :thumbsup: can't wait to see the result of your cardigan :D

This is working up pretty fast. However after working about 5-6 rows I'm now wondering about the size. According to the sizes I fall just between a med and large. Since I don't like things too tight I went up to a large. Putting it around me now it almost seems too big. :hrmm: I'm thinking about frogging it before I get any further and going down to a med. My swatch was good with an H hook. If anything it was slightly on the small size so I figured that since I was between sizes that would work out fine. Grrr.... :ire: But I'm really liking the pattern and anxious to have it done!
