The Rhinebeck Cardigan
Approximately 1000 yds. of 2 ply handspun worsted wt. I spun as I knit.
Needles #7US
Mods: I lengthened the sleeves and body by a couple inches. The button band is wider. Cuffs, collar and button band were knitted on needles 3 sizes smaller than the body.
I'd like some better pictures. The color was so far off that even photoshop couldn't make it right.

Bravo! I can’t even begin to say how amazing that looks, and to have it be your spinning as well as knitting is just super.
Beautiful lines, excellent fit. Very very impressive handspun. Would love to see it up close.
Color be damned – it looks wonderful!
Fabulous! Just fabulous! You’re an inspiraton.
Oh, the color would just detract from the sweater! Great job…that’s on my list, although not in handspun!
Your sweater is gorgeous! It looks lovely on you, too! Good job!
What a great picture. I absolutely love the way your sweater came out, and I was very glad to get to meet it in person on Saturday. It is totally inspiring that you made it of your own handspun!
Perfect!
I just love the way the buttons echo the stitch pattern!
And your handspun looks soft and warm.
Love the sweater! Is it a printed pattern?
I love it! I’ve put that book on my xmas list, I really hope I get it!!! Is it a drop sleeve? Yoke? Details!!!
Love it! Especially love the square buttons!
Love it!! The square buttons are perfect!
