Grape Leaves Cardigan

I fell in love with this yarn some time ago - soft, bulky, great colours. It took me a loooooong time to find the right pattern for it, but I finally did find it. One of the pattern's appealing qualities was that it was touted as a "24-hour knit!" I knew that this would only be true for people who were fast knitters and/or who might have fewer than 4 young children at home, but still: it was a hopeful sign. I began this sweater on April 9; I finished it on June 2. Quite a few more than 24 hours, really. Part of that is my fault - I made some changes to the pattern which meant that I had to rip it out a couple of times to get the fit right - but ultimately I'm glad I did. I think it looks great, and it will be a perfect little sweater to throw on in the cool fall when I can't go outside without a coat or sweater, but don't need full-on fall or winter gear. I love it.
Pattern: Cumulus by Cirilia Rose for Berroco
Yarn: Malabrigo Aquarella in "Soriano" colourway
