This knit was finished back in June however, I just took photos of it last week! Why? Well, there were several reasons. First, I couldn't decide on the buttons. And then, once I decided, I changed my mind and decided I didn't want buttons after all. So, I sewed the buttonholes closed.
Then, whenever I tried to wear it, it just wasn't right. I couldn't find the right outfit. This came mostly because although it is a mesh fabric, it still was a little too warm for a summer knit.
And then the weather shifted. And something magical happened. The fabric became just right. Just the right amount of warmth on those crisp days.
And now? Now I think I might want buttons again. Ha! But since I have closed up the buttonholes, I may just sew some on for the days I want to wear it closed. That way, when I want to wear it open I can just easily remove the buttons.

Jeez. I never knew I would have so many indecisive thoughts about my Corran Cardigan!
Pattern: Corran Cardigan by Creabea
Yarn: Onling No. 1
Size: 2
Needle Size: US 6/ US 8
Mods: The pattern has several options. You can make a V neck cardigan or a crew neck cardigan. You can make a short sleeve cardigan or a long sleeve. I made a v neck cardigan and added 4" to the short sleeve option to make the sleeves longer.
