Pattern: #11 Forestry (Old Penny Cardigan) by Veronik Avery fromVogue Knitting, Fall 2008
Size: Small
Yarn: Tahki Yarns Donegal Tweed (Colourway 879, 7 skeins)
Needle Size: 3.5mm and 4mm
Pattern Alterations: I knitted this cardigan in one piece so there was no seaming except for the underarms which I grafted together once the cardigan was completed. As mentioned on Ravelry, the collar instructions for this pattern are wrong so I followed the advise given by others and had no problems (thank heavens for Ravelry!). I also increased the number of short rows for the collar (another great piece of advise found on Ravelry) and added a button band which I preferred to the recommended sew on clasps.
I'm very happy with my new Cardigan which is so nice and warm!

gorgeous cardie - I love a cardie and it really suits you
Great idea knitting in the round - it is so worth that bit of pre planning to avoid seams

this looks fantastic. I've been wanting to make this cardi but have been put off by all the pattern errors. But seeing yours makes me want to give it a go!
Beautiful! And what did we do before Ravelry (don't even wan't to remember the lonely knitting) :)
That's gorgeous, love the colour. It does look really warm, and very wearable too.
Ravelry is certainly a lifesaver when it comes to erratta and mods.
Gorgeous! I started this pattern this week, but I've been distracted by Vine Yoke.
It's a lovely project.
Wow - the cardigan looks beautiful and also very warm and comfortable.
