It's Complete
It's complete!! I finally sewed the zipper in the way I like it. The trick was to use the zipper foot for the sewing machine!! What a genius I am.
Final thoughts: I made the sleeves longer, which was a good thing. I don't have long arms, but I noticed the pattern sizes were not going to cut it. I wish I had maybe made a size up. It is very fitted for a cardigan and a little shorter than I would like. On Bonnie Marie's site, she mentioned using snaps--maybe the next one I can do with snaps instead of wrestling with the zipper. All in all I like it. It was an easy, inexpensive project that I would try again! Good luck to everyone else!!

Awesome job! It looks really good. I lengtheren the sleeves too--did you do that at the top before the shoulder shaping or at the wrists? I finally decided to do it at the top part.
How did you block it--steam w/iron or wet block? I'm using the same yarn, so any pointers would help.
It looks really, really good--you should be proud!
