gold medal winner

i wasn't sure i was going to finish in time - after all, knitting an entire cardigan in sixteen days is definitely a challenge worthy of the Ravellenic Games! but at the last possible minute, it all came together, and i managed to cast off, sew in all the ends, wash it, & block it - with only 15 minutes to go before the deadline!

i'm really enamored with this little cardi - the ribbing detail at the back is very flattering (although that much rib became more than a little tedious towards the end) & the merino/silk fabric is wonderfully soft & drapey. the only small modification i made was to knit a few rows of ribbing at the centre bottom edge, to stop the edge from rolling.
