I'm not normally a Cardi kinda girl, but I derive such pleasure from wearing this one, especially since it was my first garment. (Bonne: "BRAVA!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!") Regarding yarn usage, I purchased 8 skeins in the Body Color and 4 skeins in the contrast color (pattern called for 12 skeins total) - I used all of the contrast color except for a few yards, and have exactly two skeins left of the main color." |
