Project cardigan completed!!

So I got a quick pick, since I did say I would. It is so cold outside I swear my camera was shivering! It started to snow a little, but didn't last.

Oh I also made the cute crochet flower headband.
I am really happy with this cardigan, it fits so well, and feels so comfy. I will be making more.....soon as I finish my other projects :)
Have some fun this weekend, I am hoping to get a chance to see the Harry Potter 7 part one, this weekend (more likely I will end up seeing it next weekend).

Working on a cardigan

So I have been busy with work, and crochet.
I get scheduled days off from work, and then they call me. I have a hard time saying no, or ignoring a ringing phone. I know it's sad. So I must find a place to work on my crochet, or other crafts, where I can't hear the phone ring.
I am really excited about this project, it was actually a pretty quick to work up, and not too complicated.
I don't really own cardigans, and I see cute ones in the store. I think I could just make one. So that's what this is. I have now finished it, except I need to add a button to it. I have plenty of buttons, but want to make sure I pick one that will work the best for it, and I haven't taken the time to do that. I have been busy crocheting a bomber hat for my brother for Christmas, and I still have some mittens to make for a friend. I am also making three raccoons, for the kids of my friend. I can never do just one project. I usually end of having at least three projects going at once. The good news is that I will finish them all.
I will have a chance Friday afternoon, to add the button to my cardigan, and get a picture of the finished project. It fits really well, better than the knit cardigan I made last year :(  I could have sworn I did the gauge on it, but it still came out a bit too big for me. It looks so pretty though. Oh well.
I have some great cardigans saved on my ravelry account, that now that I have made one that fits, I will definitely make more.


I have long day of work ahead of me, unloading a Christmas truck.
Have some fun today!
