I like the cardigan, but it's a tad big. Not the pattern's fault since it's the size it's supposed to be, but I fell between two sizes and didn't adjust. No matter, at least it's not too tight.
Specs:
Pattern: Tangled Yoke Cardigan, Interweave Knits, Fall 2007 designed by Eunny Jang
Yarn: Rowan Felted Tweed, color #156 wheat, 8 skeins (only used a bit of the 8th) from Cumberpatch
Mods: Made the sleeves 1" longer
I worked on this exclusively since August and it went very quickly despite not knitting on it for days at a time. The pattern was well written and the yarn is fantastic. Give it a try...you'll drive the doggies crazy!
totally fab!

That is a very cute sweater. Doggies, also cute.
Does the looser fit bother you unduly?

looks great! Perfect buttons, too! :)

Woo! It looks great.
And just think, that looser fit can accommodate layers to protect you from the fierce LA, um, sun...

Yeah! You look marvelous! :) The neck line looks perfect and I love the buttons. Great photo shoot also.
Boy, I better get myself rolling.

That is WONDERFUL. I really need to take your lead and work on one of my sweaters exclusively. I'm such a slacker.

It's so pretty; I actually like it a bit looser than it was photographed for the magazine.
