Because when you’ve half-unravelled one cardigan, it makes sense to start another entirely different one. 
I rarely knit the same pattern twice because I find it boring, but I will make an exception for this pattern. It’s quick, interesting to knit and quick. And did I say it was quick? 
Though I lengthened the sleeves this time around, they’re still too short and I’m going to have to unpick them, I fear. Otherwise, it’s a perfect fit and very girly.
This is the first time I’ve used a yarn from Sublime. When the yarns first appeared, I was pretty underwhelmed by the overly pastel colour selection. Although there now seems to be a few stronger colours in the range, to be honest, I never would have used it if it wasn’t reduced (£2.30 per ball from The Black Sheep!). I don’t buy into the idea of paying for a luxury brand, quite literally. Yes, I infinitely prefer to use natural fibres over synthetics, but that doesn’t mean I need to sell a kidney in order to be able to afford the yarn to knit a sweater.
The buttons are from this blog post. I finally found a use for them and think they look rather splendid. 
The buttons are too cute! Of course, they pale in comparison to the model.
She is so cute and the sweater isn’t bad either. The buttons are really perfect. I still haven’t found a pattern for me to use mine.
It’s a very pretty cardigan. And I like your cat looking in through the window in the background!!
Darling baby, cute sweater, but why didn’t you tell me you had a black kitty? I love black kitties.
Oh my goodness she’s standing!! Yea!!
Baby, buttons, cat all fantastic. Rose does have a bit of a look that says ‘am I going to have to model everything you make for me, I’ve go lots of other things to do Mum’.
What a precious cardigan on such a precious baby! I love those buttons too.
beeeaaautiful cardie, and rose looks so lovely in it. They are possibly the best buttons i have ever seen!
I, also, have only bought sublime from black sheep, because of cheapness. It’s really very near where i live… danger will robinson… used to be on my commute home from work!!
