Happy New Sweater!
I have tons of love for this new sweater! I really wasn't sure how it would turn out; substituting a woolier, less-drapey yarn, the weird yoke, the bell sleeves, the ruffle at the bottom. But I worked it, bay-bee. And I love it!

Here's the yoke:.JPG)
And here are the specs:
Pattern: Cabled Cardigan by Shiri Mor, Vogue Knitting Magazine, Winter 2007/2008
Yarn: Cascade 220 Quatro Color 5017 Moondance, 6.5 skeins
Mods: Obviously, I omitted the ombre effect that they used in the magazine sample and went with one color yarn. I also added a four stitch seedstitch button band to the front. I omitted the buttonholes in the yoke while knitting the fronts, but placed a marker where they were supposed to go, so I could put them in the same spots when I knit the button band.

Emily, that sweater is swoon-worthy! It looks like the perfect design and color for you. Very nicely done!
It look absolutely perfect, Emily! It so flattering and nice too. If it was my sweater I would not take it off, at all, for at least a week or more.

Wow, that is gorgeous. That piece didn't blip on my radar in the magazine, but yours is wonderful.
It looks so pretty in person too. I was admiring it when I met you at knitting a couple of Fridays ago.
