This time last year, I was finishing this sweater.  I wore it rarely in the last year, not very happy with its asymmetry.  I love the yarn I made but the sweater itself was not me.

Sitting by a fire on the mountain, I ripped it all.  I snipped off the hooks, figured out how I put it together, and pulled.  I started remaking it into something more similar to the cardigans that I wear every day. 

I know it will be heavier then the cashmere I wear but that is part of what I am looking for.  Another layer to go over the cashmere that will help to keep me warm, especially at work.  Darker then the sweater I just made but a similar shape.  I am going to shorten it and shorten the arms of the last pattern.  That should work better.  I have not decided if I am going to do all the color work but I just may.  I am not going to do the texture pattern in the main body of the sweater and I have changed the stitch pattern a bit.

It is is also very good to watch videos by.  The other sweater and shawl I have working are a bit to delicate to work on when I am watching something new.  Though, they both work if there is an audio book on.  Part of going down the fiber hole.
