Silk Cardigan is Done!

Finally finished up the short-sleeved silk cardigan. It was a pretty quick knit, but I had some projects for the shop to work on at the same time. I'm pretty happy with it...it could be a little longer and the fit under the arms is a little off...but I love the godets below the waist.

The Ella Rae Shibu was lovely to work with. It was not too stiff, and the slubs give the finished fabric a tweedy look.

I ended up getting buttons at the new Joanns in south San Jose...it's hard to find good buttons, and these were nice and a good value. I needed 10 of them, and finding that quantity is also challenging.
