SO READY FOR FALL

This cool weather is putting me in the mood for the holidays. That first day of cool weather came (even though it was just for a couple of days) and I just had to whip up a cardigan. The first of many is McCalls 6168. ( to the left)  I made it from a fuschia rayon jersey knit from Joann fabric , the $13 stuff. This pattern is super easy and goes together fast. Now , I will warn you that it takes some fabric. I only had two yards and i believe the pattern calls for 2 3/4 yards. It took some squeezing to get this cardigan. I had to  remove some of the drape of the front piece. Even with me doing that, it is still long - maybe i am just short - and gave me the drama that I was looking for.  What can I say besides  this is a great pattern . I may make another one.......

Such a lovely color for fall too. I love to see you in cardigans! I need more of them myself.
