Well, there you are-- obviously this is a consiricy between you and blogger to get you a post all to yourself without any other sweater that could compete for attention.


Details: I bought 7 skeins of Mexico by Katia (at 50% off the $8.00 price, I might add). I used 6, but two of those are still fairly full (are we thinking scarf?). The pattern was the short cardigan with 3/4 lenght slevees in Knit1 by Vogue. Started Satruday morning, finished Tuesday night. How is that for (almost) instant gratification? I almost forgot to talk about the ribbon. After hours of scouring fabric stores Saturday for just the right ribbon and striking out, I walked by a flower shop on Monday at lunch and popped in there, not only did I find the perfect color and perfect width of ribbon (the only reason it wasn't completely perfect is I had to de-wire it), I asked the lady for a couple of yards and she appologetically told me that it was 80 cents a yard (she's talking to one who has spent more on the perfect button then yarn or fabric for the same outfit). I may have found a new ribbon outlet.
