Two Decades in the Making

Finished at last!

Needles: US 8 (5.00 mm)
Yarn: Knit Picks' sadly discontinued Gloss HW, an aran-weight merino/silk blend, heavy but glorious to the touch; 10 skeins in Ruby
Pattern: Kerin Dimeler-Lawrence's Calluna Cardigan, which was once available on the Knit Picks site
Mods: Shortened the length above the waist, but don't ask me how after all this time

I started this in 2010, shortened the bodice to match my short-waisted-ness, then blanked on how to adjust the sleeves to match the changes. Twenty years later, i plucked it out of the bag, made and set the second sleeve, and made the collar. Than there was a pause of a few months while I got around to making buttons.

Wait is it 2030 now?

Pretty sure 2020 was at least a decade long.
