More Cardigan Work
I'm so pleased with the Italian Wool Basketweave Cardigan.  I bought this fabric under the mistaken impression that it was recommended for this pattern, even though it's a woven, and then found that it wasn't.  I read on Sewing World of someone else who was adapting the cardigan pattern for wovens, and it didn't sound like she was changing much.  So, I finally just forged ahead and tried it.  It has turned out beautifully, and last night I hemmed it and put the shoulder pads in, so it is all done except for the buttonholes, and I think I'm going to line it.  It would be nice to have a slick interior.  It makes it so much easier to slip it on and off.  I will also be using some of the brown doubleknit to make a top and skirt.  I may use a little of the basketweave for trimming.
