Cardigan Capers



12 months or so ago I started a cardigan for Anna over at Rummey Bears...it was to be for her daughter Rosie who was one....well 12 months on it's finished and Rosie has just turned two, so a little frogging was involved.  The cardigan has been knitted for a two year old, so it will fit!! 

Anna came up with design and the colours of the cardigan herself, I just did the labour and covered the cost of the yarn.  The cardigan was an exchange for Anna designing my dover & madden logo. 

I am going to do a separate post on pricing, because it has been a while since I knitted a full garment....even child size and it really surprised me how long this item took.

Anyway I did take some pictures along the way. 







The cardigan once sewn together was given a final blocking and then Ta Dah.....beautifully soft, and in a pefect shape ready to post and then ready for little Rosie to wear.








I can't wait to see Rosie wearing this.
