<\/a><\/center>I don’t even want to say how long it took me to knit this dang sweater. I think I started it a year and a half ago or something ridiculous like that. I just lost my knitting mojo for a while.

I wanted a simple, everyday sort of sweater, and in that respect it pretty much works. The sleeves are a tad on the snug side, but I think that’s because my gauge changed over the course of the cardigan. Yup, I began knitting more tightly. Maybe I was feeling more uptight. Do you all share that theory? That how tightly one knits is a reflection of one’s personality? For instance, my mother? Super loose knitter, and yes, she is a pretty laidback chica.
