The longest project..

After a few attempt and error finally the knit.1 cropped cardigan is finish. I guess this is the longest project that I even knit. I have alter the pattern a lot cos of the yarn that I use, the width, the armhole , the button hole...it almost drive me crazy. Although it turn out quite o.k but I still not really satify with it, the yarn look a bit thin and doesn't stretch too well for the cardigan, my bust area are too tight, also the rib at the waist is not fitted enough. I might knit one more piece but this time I better keep to the yarn that the pattern call for.

the only thing that I really satify is the button that I have, I made this button from my scrap fabric with cover button that I purchase from www.coverbuttons.com. I have also alter the button hole to vertical hole instead of the horizontal that suggest in the pattern, cos it look filmsy when I did it .
