I finished my Creature Comforts Cardigan after a 10-day stockinette stitch marathon!
I should admit that I had serious reservations about this pattern. I consulted the Fit to Flatter group on Rav, I looked at every project page, I researched every possible lead I could on whether the final result would work for me. The construction is very simple but quite like that of a shrug and I worried that the shape would not look "right" on my body type. I eventually came to the sorta logical argument that I just had to make it. Screw whether I liked the finished piece, I wanted it.
(It's a good thing I came to that feeling...) When I finished it, I liked it. I was surprised at how small it was, but I thought I could wear it... should my laundry be undone and maybe if I were without other garments at my disposal. So I decided I would block the piece despite hearing some haunting things about the color bleeding... I never had any issue with color bleeding, but I did find that this yarn seriously lost its shape somewhere in the process. I have decided I will try to reverse the horror I inflicted upon my new sweater by maybe washing in warm water with a quick run in the dryer; I can only hope it will go back to the sorta liked piece of yesterday.
