Knit year for me !!!
I set a goal to finish this sweater before the end of January and succeeded. So far, so good !!!
I didn't really use a pattern for this one. I took measurements from another sweater and commenced to knitting and used a bit of information from this Custom Fit Raglan Sweater site. Even with these two sources. I miscalculated the yardage and had to shorten the waist and redo one sleeve to make quarter-length sleeves instead of full length. It all worked out for me in the end. I love the look of bracelets/bangles with quarter-length sleeves.
I've no idea who the maker of this yarn is because it came from that stash I bought last July. It is mohair though and I must admit, I love, love, love the color.

The color on this is beautiful. I have a neighbor that makes sweaters and things without patterns. I am impressed.

That's awesome. I can't really design anything so a guidelines or some sort is always needed.

As I said before, the color is just to-die-for. Congrats on finishing--your cardi is beautiful.
