Hey there, remember me?

Life has been busy the last few months. My wedding is two weeks away and I'm almost ready with the planning. It's been stressful, but I'm really looking forward to the Big Day! :D

We've reached a crisis point at work, and the future is unknown, but I'm going to try and stop worrying about it and focus on the happy days ahead.

I finished a project!!

Bernhardt by Alison Green Will
Yarn: Alpaca With a Twist, Baby Twist Jumbo (2 skeins)
I used up every last inch, trying not to bust into the third skein. I even unraveled my swatch to avoid having to wind up the third. I don't know why, I just hated the idea of having to wind the huge hank just for a couple yards.

Feels super soft and warm, and I can tell this will be a great everyday cardigan. I wore it out to the Hunting and Fishing Days festival in Yorkville.

I would not want to run into this bear in the woods! Those claws would snag my sweater!

It's a great color and looks fabulous on you... and I think yours looks better then the original pattern.

I love the Cardigan! But why does the bear look like it's mouth was photoshopped on??
