Hi Everyone.

I finally finished the little raglan cardi I was adapting from a
vintage pattern. I changed the yarn size and the needle size. I
omitted a lace inset and used a striped pattern, out of necessity
(stash-busting).

This project was the first time I translated a pattern to accomodate
different size yarn and needles, and my math worked out pretty well.
It has given me the confidence to try this on more complicated
patterns. Here is a rather dark picture of the finished object
without the buttons. I've got buttons, but I'm not convinced they are
just right, so I'm letting the cardi sit for awhile till I make up my
mind!
