Cambridge Cardigan

Name: Cambridge Cardigan
Pattern: Cambridge Jacket by Ann Budd
Yarn: Nako Nakolen 700g, 50% wool 50% acrylic
Needle: 4 mm
Time to knit: 2 months

Modifications:
I love all of my modifications, although they definitely change the look of the original jacket.
1) Added k3p2 rib to body and sleeves
2) Deeper shaped neck and folded neckpiece
3) Added button bands and buttons
4) Sleeves are knit entirely following my own design.

Some of you may have guessed that this is the yarn from my failed ribbed sweater. I unraveled it all and reused it to make the cardigan. Of all the 700 g of this cardigan 500 g were knit twice.

Although my husband is modeling the cardigan, it is my Christmas present for my dad.
I hope he'll like it and that it will keep him warm during the upcoming cold months.

Turquoise Anais

And here it is - my turquoise Anais. No, I'm not color blinded :), it is a bit turquoise, but the camera seems incapable to catch the green tones :( The yarn is made of four blue cotton threads and two dark green rayon threads, that combine in a dark turquoise color. But, never mind the camera, it's real life impressions that matter and I am very pleased with my new summer cardi/sweater:
