Acer Cardigan, All Buttoned Up


The buttons are on my Acer Cardigan!!!!  

I finished knitting the sweater over a month ago but finally sewed on the buttons yesterday--just in time to enter it in the county fair.  :)

This was my second adult size sweater to knit, and it was certainly a challenge.  I experienced a few "firsts" with this sweater:  my first time to knit cables and the first time to set in sweaters in a knitted garment.  

The challenge of this sweater was a good one, and I am more than happy with the results.  I'm delighted!


 


Look at those cables down the back!


More than likely I will not wear the cardigan fully buttoned up, but here's what it looks like.
