I finished the Transverse Cardigan from the Spring 2010 Interweave Knits. I lengthened the body, changed the sleeve length and added the garter stitch neckline. I would have liked it a little longer but other than that I'm very happy with it. While watching
Knit and Crochet Today, a knit designer said that the biggest mistake knitter's make is following the pattern, I couldn't agree more, coming from a sewing background I never hesitate to change a pattern to suit my taste.

Love the toggle buttons, you have no idea how long I debated buttons but once I saw these against it the decision was made. The pattern calls for two large buttons I wanted three.

I also added a snap at the neckline.

I used the same lining fabric that I'm using for the Simplicity jacket to make a button band.

Despite my knitting mojo being in full throttle, I did manage to make progress on Simplicity 2508 and with another day off I should be able to finish it.

Patch pocket, I didn't cut the flap on the bias, doh.
I hope everyone has a wonderfully creative Martin Luther King Day.
