This is the Vanilla Spice Cardigan from Knitty. http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring07/PATTvanillaspice.html
Mine, obviously, is not Vanilla. It is Crocus and knit in Knit Picks Shine. I think for large project Shine hangs rather heavily. On my compter the color looks more true purple, in real life it is a fucia/purple color. This took me about 2 months to make-and I had plenty of interuptions in those two months, so it wasn't continuous knitting. I did not find the pattern that difficult. I did make the body longer than called for and to me the best part is I made the sleeves a tad too long! I have long arms and sleeves are always too short for me. I finally put the buttons on today. My 7 y/o DD took the picture for me.
Thanks for looking.
