There is a new Fibre Mood * released and I got to sew a great sweater from it, the Ellis sweater . The Ellis sweater is very quick sew but stands out because of the split neckband and waistband, such a fun detail! And of course the diagonal colour block is right up my alley. Our girl picked out the fabric herself, at least the fireworks fabric. I picked out the matching fabric. The print works well with the large piece. The sweater is a bit roomy, that is because there is a size 6 and a size 8 and she doesn't fit in the size 6, but the size 8 is still a bit big on her. Well she can grow into it.

I sewed the regular cardigan with long sleeves and I used snaps as closure for the cardigan as suggested in the pattern. Of course you can also use buttons, but then you have to sew buttonholes, not my favourite activity. Although 130 cm is advised for the cardigan I mana...
