Fantastic. I have just bought some of this yarn to have a go at a bolero, not sure I have the patience to knit a full length long sleeve cardigan! How long has it taken you? Thanks,

well, I am not sure, but 2-3 Weeks. but as I stated earlier, there is no waist shaping and so this is not fitting be. I will have to open it up again. I have not done so, yet. happy knitting

No, i have Not finished it yet. It won't fit me, unfortunately. It is around my hips where i need more room. But i did Not increase because i thought increasing needle size would be enough. So i have to unravel untill the start of the pattern under the armholes and will have to increase much more stitches. My piece now weights ca. 330g with One sleeve finished . I hope this will help you to decide.

Have you finished this cardigan? I am in love with your yarn! I want to take the class but I'm afraid I won't be able to afford enough yarn, lol. How much yarn have you used? I just love this sweater!

LOVE the colors in this!!! Wow!! I've been making one for my daughter that is solid pink and so far I love it, but I am very tempted to use something with these kinds of colors for myself!

Isn't that cool? (to cite Myra). Looks great, how much yarn and which needle size did you use to this point? I have some similar yarn but only 200 g = 800 m and I am worried it won't be enough for anything that looks like a cardi, I'm also plus size.

I used ca. 270-280g to this point of the cardi. needle size was 3mm, but later I went up to 3,5mm and 3,75mm. But beware, I am knitting size 48-50 , at least I hope it will come out as this size. ;-)
