It's a Finished Object Alright!

So here's the little girl's cardigan before blocking

...and after.

It's much easier to block wools than acrylic but it is possible with a bit of steam.

I had such high hopes for this cake of yarn

but 

I think it is made for scarves 

and NOT for sweaters.

I didn't realize when I bought it that it is DK weight so that was the first bummer.

The colors are just too jarring and not the look I can admire for a sweater.

Maybe I would use this for a Brioche project when the 'other' color would be a dark solid.

Anyway, I used almost the full cake of yarn, Lion Brand in DK weight, #6 needles.

Goodbye to this project!

(It is destined to my fancy dressing 5 yo granddaughter who will love it!

But first I need to knit a vest to match for her brother! lol)
