You can't imagine my horror when I showed my friend the picture of this cardigan and he was quick to say it was grandma-ish!! I was quite insulted to say the least.
Anyway I still love the color and pattern (designed by Kimberly McAlindin) and I hope to find a way to bring it to the 21st century...(hheeee...heee).
6/5/11 - I am right about to frog this project and use the yarn for something else. The instructions are so difficult to follow. Maybe I am being too adventurous crocheting an intermediate pattern with my beginner skills.
6/9/11 - I am glad I didn't give up. I asked for help on one of the crochet forums on Ravelry and now everything makes sense. I am well on my way to completing this project.
6/24/11 Finished the back and front, now working on the sleeves. This is coming along a lot slower than I would like it but I haven't worked on it in over a week. That's because I attended an intense gym class and was too exhausted and sore to do anything afterwards. You would think I should have known better from the name of the class - body attack!!!!
