Mrs. Darcy Cardigan

I have been knitting frantically on this cardigan as I’m trying to finish it ASAP so that I can still wear it in Spring. So I’ve finally finished it but it didn’t really turn out to what I’d expected.

Mrs. Darcy Cardigan

Pattern: Mrs. Darcy Cardigan
Yarn: 2.6 skeins of Cascade 220 Heathers in Lime Heather
Needles: 5.5 mm

The only modifications I made to this cardigan is that I’m knitted this cardigan in one piece, thanks to a Craftster KAL participant (Riki) who wrote up the directions to do that.

Anyway, I find this cardigan a little small and on the snug side. Do bear in mind that I’ve got small boobies and I still have to pull the fronts every now and then. The front pieces on the top of the shoulder are a little too thin as well :(

I wonder if I should frog this and re-knit this again :cry:

    I think you look great. The color is really gorgeous. If you find that the cardi is slipping off, you could re-do the bands & make them thicker.

    Oh I adore this, the colour is fantastic, I agree about the fronts, they would annoy me.. there’s not much knitting to just redo them, is there???
