Yay! Finished my first shop model for the store. I really like how the cardigan turned out. Only thing I'd have done differently is to go down a needle size for the body. I usually do that after I get my gauge out of yarn, but I forgot this time. It still fits pretty well though and I can wear a button down underneath or something. I'm into the tailored preppy thing right now for some reason :)

So, finally got my invitation to ravelry.com. Very exciting. It's taking a while to get things entered, but I can see that it will be a GREAT community for knitters. I love looking through other people's projects, especially ones that I'd like to add to my to do list.

This is a WIP pic of my cardi from Jo Sharp Knit Issue 3. I'm on the second sleeve right now. Then, sewing in the sleeves and picking up the button band and the neck and I'm done! I think it's something I'll get a lot of wear out of. It's my first shop model for Angel Hair.
