All business in the front and party in the back! My Color Block Go-To Cardigan is finished and has been worn twice!! It’s a simple, non-showstopper, but very wearable sweater. Lightweight and perfect fit. I made some fairly significant mods: added pockets and did the sleeves top-down/set-in vs bottom up seamed (see my Ravelry project page for details). I sewed the buttons on using my “large bead as shank” method, using turquoise-colored beads. It’s cute because you see an unexpected little color burst when you look down! Oh, and I did not do a sewn-on buttonband! Ugh!!
I used three shades of Rowan Felted Tweed: Boulder for the fronts, Treacle for the sleeves, and Turquoise for the back. I love my color choice!!
The pattern is from Churchmouse and quite expensive, but it’s well written and gives a lot of details for the more novice knitter — and they were for the most part good tips!! This will definitely be a sweater that I wear and wear again!!
I love your color choices, too! Beautiful sweater!

This looks fabulous! I have this pattern in my favourites but it has risen many places up my mental ‘to do’ list after seeing yours.

Just lovely. Really well done – and the yarns work so well together. Great combo.

Love this sweater! So cleverly done and the colors work so well together! Those pockets are little peaks of color! Can’t wait to see it in person on your person!
