I started crocheting this cardigan as my commuting project on December 8th, and was able to finish it on holidays on January 4th.  Pretty speedy I think!

If you think it looks familiar, that’s because it is – this is the grown-up version of the Clarity cardigans that I made for the girls.   Because I’d already crocheted theirs this one practically flew off the hook with very little undoing needed along the way. Have I said before that I always have to unpull rows whenever I crochet something? At least I find the mistakes and fix them before the item is finished.

The yarn is Naturallycaron.Com Spa, which I bought in Australia from American Yarns.  It’s a microfibre/bamboo blend, and was lovely to work with.  The cardi is crocheted from the top down, which allows you to try it on as you go and make fitting adjustments as needed.  I added four rows of the lace pattern before starting on the waistline ribbing, then left off the last four rows of the lace pattern on the skirt.

Details are on Ravelry here.  And I promise not to wear mine when the girls are wearing theirs.
