Daisy Melon - a little Ta-dah......

I finally got around to putting the finishing touches on my Daisy Melon cardigan. I probably should have pulled back the flower and remade it as the cotton used was a bit iffy but I was a bit over it so did not bother. 



I kind of like the wonky look of it anyway so am keeping it for a sample unless one of my friends claims it in a hurry. The pattern was easy to follow and I learned something new. "How to make I-cords". In all my years of knitting I have never come across them in a pattern I have used. Such a simple, effective idea! 



Next time also, I think I will sew the stem further in so it pulls the fronts overlapping. Hindsight is a wonderful thing hey? LOL Overall, not bad for a little project made from two small balls of gifted wool and scraps!!!!!
