FO: Well, Almost

Hi Everyone.

I finally finished the little raglan cardi I was adapting from a vintage pattern. I changed the yarn size and the needle size. I omitted a lace inset and used a striped pattern, out of necessity (stash-busting).

This project was the first time I translated a pattern to accomodate different size yarn and needles, and my math worked out pretty well. It has given me the confidence to try this on more complicated patterns. Here is a rather dark picture of the finished object without the buttons. I've got buttons, but I'm not convinced they are just right, so I'm letting the cardi sit for awhile till I make up my mind!
