Sideways Cardigan is a FO

The Sideways Cardigan KAL is coming to an end on Wednesday

 and I managed to finish it before the deadline!

I couldn't have done this, if I waited until I arrived home on Tuesday evening!

It was knit using an acrylic boucle' in fingering weight yarn.   (1200 yards)

It felt like it took as long to seam together as it did to knit it!

(I might be exaggerating because it is more fun to knit than it is to seam!)

I used a crochet hook to make a chain stitch (slip stitch) 

to attach the double layered band to the front of the sweater. 

 Likewise, the hems of the cuff and sweater bottom were turned up

 so the purl side was used for contrast. 

 I also used the crochet hook to chain stitch these in place.  

The overall look is perfectly matched to what I designed at the start 

so I'd say it is another machine knit success!

  This is why it is important to join in on knitalongs 

so you are pushed to try things you would never attempt on your own!
