smooth segue

pattern: Emerald by Amy Swenson/Indigirl
yarn: Araucania Naturewool Chunky (ignore the name, it's a heavy worsted)

notes: Size medium width and size small proportions in height/sleeve length- resulting in a size L petite sweater. Don't ask, just go with me here, it's all about the measurements.
After the trauma of my ginormous Imogen, this is sweeeet. And you should see how much less yarn I used. Great fit. At first - and I do apologize to my SnB friends, I may have gone on about this way more than necessary- I thought the hips were too snug but after constant wear in a day it fell in nicely all over. You know how wool does that.

I'm foregoing buttons. I like how it hangs open and, truth is, I never button cardigans anyway.
Love the cable raglan shoulders, love the yarn, this is a choice pattern for breaking up the crazy color changes of kettledyed no-dye-lots skeins.

My pinktabulous new socks accessorize my finished sweater! This coordinating of handknits amuses me no end, not being known for my accessorization. You can't see them under the pants and boots-but I know they are there.
