Yay...! Cardigan finished!...do I get a prize?...
I finally finished the cardigan last night, now I get to model it. But alas, its too big! I didnt realize it would turn out this big when all the motifs are put together. Well, I'm a small size and I think this cardigan is a large size! Anyway, here it is:

Yay..i knew you could do it,it looks great..i have been sizing mine as i go becouse im a small to and i wanted to make sure it fit right after all that work.I knew if i didnt the sleeves would be way to big so i would try it on as i went.I still think it looks great on you,super job.
ReplyDeleteTHanks Shaylen! I thought I was doing a good job at it as I was working on the first sleeve. I did try it on, and it looked right, but because the body was too loose for me the sleeves hung lower and thus it ended up too long...hehe...I guess I should be taller and wider for this cardigan ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my! Congratulations! Wonderful work, Mimi!
ReplyDeleteIf I were you, I'd probably make myself bigger for the beautiful cardigan! LOL LOL
Thanks Chie! I do think its a good incentive to gain more weight as my friends always tell me I'm too thin!
ReplyDeleteYay!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stacie and Raquel and everyone else for all the cheering, it was so inspiring! I do think its a beautiful cardigan, it makes me feel special wearing it, maybe I'll make another one...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Goldi! Its really quite an easy pattern to follow. Would love to see you make one too and see how it looks with a different kind of thread. I think it'll fit you just fine =)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Yes , I think you deserve to get a prize.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Yes , I think you deserve to get a prize.
ReplyDeleteOh, Mimi, it's gorgeous...good job! Rachel (CPC/CPR)
ReplyDeleteThanks Yasmin and Rachel! You all make me feel compensated making this cardigan ;)
ReplyDeleteYay, you finished it!! I think you should get a prize, too.
ReplyDeleteOh Mimi, it's gorgeous! I'm in total awe of you, really. You are so tiny! You know, that looks more like a medium --- it would probably fit me, lol!
ReplyDeleteWonderful job, I knew you could do it!!!!!
Wow, yours came out really nice too! I would love to try that pattern out. Maybe after I finish everything else on my list =X
ReplyDeleteWay to go Mimi on finishing!!!!!! It turned out gorgeous (even though a bit large) what an accomplishment!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone!!!
ReplyDeleteTina, I already got the prize - a lot of compliments, what a surprise!
Jaye, you're right its a medium - I'm really so small, though I was even thinner before. I'm now gaining weight =)
CL, I also think it would look good in black, not for me of course. It would look gorgeous on you!
Fal, your shrug is lovely and you could really wear it! (I'd have to make a smaller size to wear...)
Kimberly, all the cheering and encouragement from crocheting friends really make all the difference in my projects. What would I be doing now without all of you wonderful people?...
Beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jimmie Lu!
ReplyDeleteI'm so upset !! I can't see the pictures !!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope it's not to late to say this:
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!!!!!!!!
The cardigan looks great! Your prize should be a new bundle of yarns so you can make more beautiful things like this! =)
Thanks sis!!! Well, this doesnt cost much in materials since this is made of thread. This cost a big amount of time and effort, which I dont think I can have more of ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Shelle! Even if its big, I couldnt bear to part with it...hehe...
ReplyDeleteMimi,
ReplyDeleteKasya sa akin 'yan :D
Awesome job and beautiful detailed stitching...inggit ako!!
Thanks for being honest, Beth :D
ReplyDeleteUnlike you, I dont have children to take care of so I have time to crochet for myself. You are still young and enjoying crocheting for your kids, and I envy you!
Hi Ate,
ReplyDeleteYeah, I love making stuff for my kids...buti na lang malayo ang mommy ko kasi aarborin niya yung mga gawa ko :D LOL!!
But right now I have decided to make a project for myself (at last) palagi na lang para sa mga anak ko yung mga ginagawa ko lately.
You are an inspiration!!
Thank you so much, Beth! Really makes me happy to hear from you that I've inspired you =)
ReplyDeleteThanks also for showing respect, but you need not call me Ate...hehe...my younger sis is about your age and she doesnt call me ate, but we are very close.
Absolutely beautiful!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMimi this is amazing! It's so beautiful that while staring at its work you simply don't notice the size - if you wouldn't have tell! It's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pam and Vik!
ReplyDeleteThis is my best big project so far, and I'm so glad many came to admire it =)
