I casted on my Magnolia Bloom Cardigan on Saturday night sitting fireside with my youngest kiddo.
I am thrilled with the yarn! It is a merino cashmere blend by Lana Grossa. The color is Pine Green. It's not a color I usually work with but it was a closeout deal, so that's how I pick my colors these days!
I think it will be perfect for the holidays. The leaves and bobbles in the sweater even remind me of poinsettia flowers. I should have this done in time for Rhinebeck too so maybe you'll see me wearing it there! I plan on making it a shorter cardigan that I can wear over dresses and tunics. I decided not to make button holes because I rarely close a cardigan and I didn't feel like fiddling with that part. I noticed a lot of people on Ravelry also left off the buttons. This sweater is bulky weight on 10.5 US needles so it goes super fast!
