Shalom Cardigan is finally finished! I remember trying this last year with Bernat Softee Chunky and I wasn't loving the yarn, so it got frogged. But I tried again using different mods and a wonderful yarn that I wish I had bought more of when I had the chance. I had a hard time capturing the true color of the yarn, but the last picture (from Little Knits) shows it perfectly.
// Warning...this post is highly picture-intensive.
Pattern: Shalom Cardigan by Involving the Senses
Yarn: Uruguay Chunky in Sage Green (#113)
Amount: ~ 7.5 balls
Needles: US 9 and 10.5
Mods: Used Ishi's mods. Lengthened to 22" before blocking. Came out to be 24" after blocking. Picked up 52 sts around sleeves using smaller needles and did 10 rows of garter stitch.

* Side
* Back
* Front and center (but a little overexposed due to sunlight)
* Sleeves
* Flat
* Buttons! If they look familiar, it's because they're the yellowish-green version of my red Juliet buttons. 1 1/8" and from www.buttondrawer.com .
* I love that green!

Gorgeous! I'm just going through Ravelry right now trying to pick out my first sweater and a yarn that I can afford! There aren't too many options....
I've seen this cardi before and I never thought about it, but it looks fabulous! I might have to copy! Also, that color green is really lovely.
