FO Erin Cardigan

I finished the Erin cardigan by Kim Hargreaves a little while ago. Here's a look at the pictures, it's a bit big but I love it. The Rooster Almerino yarn is just so soft and if it wasn't so expensive and hard to get(usually $16 AU per 50g ball) I would make another project out of it. This project was actually quite reasonable to make as I bought the yarn on sale at Calico and Ivy and Web of Wool. In total this cardigan cost about $80 AU to make.
I needed:
12 balls of Rooster Almerino in Smoothie(50% baby alpaca, 50% baby merino)
3 and 3.5mm straight bamboo needles to get gauge
Kim Hargreaves book "The Dark House"

Kim Hargreaves Erin

Rooster Almerino is such a beautiful yarn to work with. It's 50%baby alpaca and 50% fine merino. I'm making Kim Hargreaves "Erin" cardigan from the "Dark House" Collection. I originally purchased 10 skeins from Calico and Ivy in Mosman Park and I'm short a couple of balls. I am waiting for a few more in the right dye lot so I can complete 1/4 of a sleeve and the collar. Here is the photo of the back.
