I'm really pleased with how this turned out. The pattern is quite brilliant. It's called the Modern Garden Cardigan by Finnish designer Veera Valimaki (check out her beautiful blog 100% Rain here), and it was quite an easy pattern to follow once I got the hang of following a chart. The leaf pattern increases/decreases automatically pull the cardigan in at the waist giving it a nice shape. I also learned to do short rows for the first time for the back collar.
I found the lovely buttons which are made out of avocado stones at Americo.
I've now knitted a seamed sweater, this sweater which was knitted seamlessly from the bottom up and so next I want to try a top down sweater.
