It's finished, and I love it! The Tea Leaves Cardigan in Rowan Felted Tweed made a light and airy wool sweater perfect for spring and fall. And, a pattern for a tiny version was just released, so I feel the little girl and I will be matching soon. The yarn is a little thinner weight than what the pattern calls for, so the resulting fabric isn't as dense as most wool sweaters; which suits my over-heated nursing body perfectly! It kept me warm on a ferry ride across Lake Superior, and I'm hoping for some more chances to wear it even through the summer.
This is the first in a long line of selfish-knitting projects, but I have plans to work a few gift-knits in here soon.
What's been on your needles lately?

That looks so gorgeous - great colour, was it easy to knit? I am attempting the february lady sweater which is meant to be easy but is causing me some first cardi headaches! :D
