Here's another Lush and Lacy Cardigan to inspire!  The rich berry color makes for a really striking cardigan!

"Good morning from a warm and sunny South Africa... I bought the lush and lacy cardigan pattern from your website and since my mother in law, Betsie, is a much more experience knitter I convinced her to knit it for me as a birthday gift!

As we live in South Africa we had to guess at the type of wool as our brands differ from yours.

We settled on this wool - it is thicker than a double knitting wool and my mother in law adjusted the pattern a little bit by leaving off the pockets and we decided to make loops for the buttons.

I absolutely love the cardigan and wear it winter (as you see here with a polo neck underneath!), autumn, spring and every other opportunity I get!" -- Christina H. from Johannesburg, South Africa.

The yarn used was Stylecraft Life Chunky in Cranberry 2319.

Love your color choice!  That would brighten up any day, regardless of the weather!  Thanks, Christina and thank you to your MIL, Betsie, for such a lovely job knitting it!
