I'm calling this an "epic" cardigan because it was five years in the making. FIVE YEARS. I started this cardigan when we still lived in our old house in Kingston. Then we moved and I had another baby and it kind of got lost in the shuffle. Then I found it again and Mom graciously agreed to take on some of the knitting of the body, so she definitely did the lion's share of this sucker. Then the pattern got weird and she brought the cardigan back to me to continue on with. And what with one thing and another, five years passed, and I only just finished this cardigan up. But I can say one thing:
totally worth it. It's warm and cozy and just ideal. I love it, and a big shout-out of thanks to Mom for helping make it a reality!
