Finished, but...

Okay, finally done with this fiddly little baby cardigan. There's a matching blanket - same yarn, different pattern - that will be finished eventually. The trouble is, who would put a baby in a heavily patterned, worsted weight, cotton sweater? A poor little guy who can't even roll over when the cables start digging into his back?

Kitchener stitching the back neck seam was fiddly, and took four tries, but the sheep were very supportive.

The color is proving difficult to photograph, even in natural light. It is salmon pink, and the orange buttons were almost-not-quite close enough to grate, so I went with dark brown.

Yarn: Brunswick Rio (discontinued), a 50/50 cotton acrylic worsted, in what I feel sure is Coral even though the label said Light Aqua
Pattern:  Britta Stolfus Rueschhoff's Trellis
Mods: None. Lots of people reversed the cables to make them symmetrical on either side, but I appreciated the way the big cables went one way and the smaller cables the other. I also didn't attempt to mess with the shawl collar, although I would never button the top button.
