Candy Cardi

 
Hello friends!
I've been away for a while, but with a good reason. I am helping my daughter launch her own brand, and we've been working around the clock for a number of designs to be brought to life.
As things are getting back to normal, I hope to resume posting more regularly. 
Here's one of the projects that was started in spring, left aside and picked up again in September. 
I made this cardi for myself.  I used the granny stripe pattern and it is worked top-down. What I love most about it is the enormous sleeves. 
 
What I think is "meh" about it - it's the collar. Sweet Lord, I tried about 5 times to make it work with it, but didn't like the final looks, and settled for this one. I imagined it with a Peter Pan collar, but it simply didn't work. 
 
I am planning another post, showing it off and how to style it with other clothes.

I wish I could have had a much better choice for the palette, but that particular yarn shop where I bought the yarn for this, had only these colors in the same weight. But, I like it and it makes me cheerful whenever I have it on. Thank you so much for the well wishes on behalf of Eva.
