a new red swear for me

i've been meaning to knit this sweater for over a year, ever since we started this KAL!
red cardigan of my own design, knit with briar rose grandma's blessing on size 3 needles.
everything felt right about this project from the start. a few bumps in the road at the blocking stage, but all's well that ends well, and i finally have myself a much-needed new sweater. it also feels good to accomplish a knitting goal that's been on the fire for a while.

Anne,
I love your red sweater! Your fears were unfounded - it fits beautifully. Is this going to be a knitspot pattern anytime soon? I'd like to do something similar, but I'd rather buy than steal your idea!

Sweater is very nice. I'm not usually a huge fan of varigated yarn but this is nice an subtle and looks great!

What a great sweater. I'd love to knit something like that as well. Please let us know if there will be a pattern available.

I like that shaping and styling very much indeed. Looks elegant. And so glad to see that someone else took her time in finishing a red sweater (even if it was one of the founders of the KAL...)
