Comments: I think the sheen would have been better with a different yarn, but I'm a little leery of cotton these days after the Spring Forward episode. And if I had it to do over, I'd have reshaped the sleeve cap for less poof. I was very pleased that it did not grow at all after being worn all day.

Pattern: Kauni cardigan by Ruth Sørensen
Yarn: Kauni Rainbow EQ
Details: I did a garter stitch checkerboard instead of corrugated ribbing, and I used Joan Schroeder's one row button hole which is fantastic. I used less than 3 skeins, but bought a fourth to get the colors I wanted for the button band.
