The narrow yoke cardigan is finally done.  Once again, this was totally one of those “it seemed like a good idea at the time” projects.  Those super dark grey stitches?  They are TINY.  It needs buttons still (the ones that I originally got for it are too big), but other than that I am quite happy with how it turned out.

When I started this project, I asked O to pick out the colors she wanted in it, and about stroked out when she added that BRIGHT red into the mix.  She insisted that it would be great, and since I (mostly) trust her color judgment, so I went with it.  She was right.  The one line of red in the yoke really does work.  Since I had a full skein of it left, I decided to do the inside of the cuffs and hem in red, and I couldn’t be happier at how that came out (well, ok, I could – it could be flatter, but it’s a turned hem, so it’s never going to be and that’s just fine).

In other exciting knitting news, the evil top down raglan is also done.  And blocked.  And I don’t hate it any less.
