\"aster-cardigan1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And we’re back with the light grey walls. I’m a big fan of Vanessa<\/a>‘s style and sewing. I’m an even bigger fan of her photography – she captures the light masterfully and her daughter is gorgeous and seems so sweet.<\/p>\n

I had the luxury of selecting a variety of patterns from the Willow & Co<\/a> collection, and I definitely wanted to give the Aster Cardigan<\/a> designed by Vanessa herself a whirl.<\/p>\n

\"aster-cardigan6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As I’d hoped, it came together in a New York minute (actually more like a Seattle minute, which is a little slower), and it’s my favorite kind of style: modern with a nod to vintage.<\/p>\n

I cut out the size 8, and in retrospect, I should have gone up one more size as this knit jersey was stubbornly un-stretchy. On the bonus side, it made sewing with it very easy. You might recognize this golden stripey fabric from this dress,<\/a>\u00a0 a perennial favorite around here.<\/p>\n

\"aster-cardigan2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I cut out the sleeve cuffs incorrectly, so they’re not exactly matching, but I say it gives it character, and you probably didn’t even notice (see how I do that? It’s a sickness — I can’t help but point out what I did wrong).<\/p>\n

The only change I made to the pattern was that instead of folding the hem twice, I serged and just folded once to finish the bottom hem. Otherwise, it seemed like it would be too short.<\/p>\n

\"aster-cardigan4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Such a sunny cardigan! Please ignore the rumpled linen pants (from here<\/a>). The photoshoot took place in a New York minute as well, and ironing was low on my priority list…<\/p>\n

\"aster-cardigan3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks again for including me in the Willow & Co fun, Vanessa!<\/p>\n
