I finished this Shalom Cardigan a few days after Thanksgiving and I just got around to wearing it the other day. I had Bob take this picture before work (sorry about the flash - it was a dark, dreary, rainy morning) because I knew that if I waited until the end of the day, I'd be too cranky to take a picture. Now I'm wondering if I look this tired every morning. I hope not. This sweater is a little frumpy, but it's quite comfortable and I like it. It's just the right thing for sitting in rehearsal all day. I was neither too hot, nor too cold. The yarn is KnitPicks Swish Bulky, I think I used a US 10.5 needle, and I found the buttons at JoAnn Crafts. I made a few modifications to make this a little bit larger as the pattern was written for a super skinny-mini. If you're inclined to read about my mods, you can find them here.
You look great!!! and the sweater looks great on you!

How funny--I was just asking on Twitter if anyone had made this! I am worried that it would look slightly frumpy on me, but it looks fantastic on you!
