oh gosh! are my ears burning... thank you all for your compliments on my cardigan! Really it is also that the contests and challenges here help push me beyond my usual comfort zone.
I will try and get some photos of the coordinating knit top which I finished up this past weekend... six different leftover pieces of knit fabric, stripey and floral and marled and solid, combined with a bit of embroidery and reverse applique.
I added one more line of couched narrow strip between the neckline binding and the cloud collar, to ease the transition where it shows in the photo as a black line under the edge binding... more photos later, in daylight...
