Yet another blue cardi

And the latest cardi, this time is a strand of denim blue and a strand of sandy coloured yarn, knitted in full needle rib again.  I do love the way this fabric hangs so flat.
This time, I've moved the seams, so they are from the edge of the armholes downwards, the front and backs therefore have no armhole shaping, and side panels have the underarm shaping, if that makes sense.
I've even got the sleeve length spot on this time.
For the neckband, I cast off round the neck edges, then knit the band and re-hung the neck edges and cast then off together.
I have since discovered how to take full needle rib off on to waste yarn (circular knitting on both beds) but not sure how easy it would be to then re-hang live stitches, I'll have to play with that.
I didn't quite get the back view right, but thought you could have a laugh at the pic anyway  :laughing:

Great cardigan and super buttons finish it off very nicely.
