Finally, the Puffy is Finished

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I first posted about this project way back in August.  Since then, I got married, moved into a new apartment, and completely forgot about this cardigan.  It resurfaced again in January, and not wanting to have it on the needles for more than 6 months, I finally finished it.

As evidenced from my first post, I've had a few challenges with this project.  After two rounds of major frogging and lots of modifications from the waist on down, the result is a cardigan that fits my body beautifully.  The full modifications are outlined here.

All of the effort was worth it though, as I am extremely happy with the final cardigan and how it fits.  Once it gets a little warmer, I expect to get a lot of wear out of this!

Your puff sleeve sweater is very pretty. I have been working on it, too, but I'm on my second attempt at the peplum. Did you have trouble knowing how to read the chart starting with row 17? I seemed to be doing fine (at least I had the right number of stitches at the end of each round of repeats) until that row. That is where there are stitches outside the chart. Where do they go? This is the first time I have used a chart.

Do you have any of the mint yarn left? It is no longer available from Knitpicks, and I am 5 rows short for the Wild Stripes baby blanket I'm making! I would pay you for the yarn and cover shipping! Great sweater!
