Plaid Cardigan - photos

IT was pretty hot at my place yesterday but I put on a bulky cardigan anyway :) And my husband took some photos for me.

A pleasant knit that moved along nice and quickly (size 10.5 needles will do that). It'll make for a nice light coat this fall. But I need to fix the collar... I need to knit it a little longer and bind off more loosly. I thought it was ok untill I saw the photos :)
