Your cardigan is going to be beautiful. It almost makes me want to start knitting again for the first time in years! Happy WOYWW, Kathi #109
My mum taught me a little about knitting but I am a crochet girl, not that I do much of that these days. Love the colour of your yarn. You are heading into spring and we are into Autumn both beautiful seasons with natures changes.
