What do you get when you have a semi-large stash of sweater knits and every cardigan pattern disappoints? You get out your trusty Renfrew pattern and hack it up! (After tracing off a copy of course.)

| Renfrew is always there for you. |
I really like those RTW sweater with gathered yokes so I did a little slashing and spreading as well.
 |
| Yoke Gathers! |
I selected a nice firm knit from the sweater knit stash, an acrylic/polyester/wool blend purchased from
Mood last year. About 2 hours later we had what I like to call
Librarian
Chic. (Pants are Colette Clovers in stretch Corduroy BTW)
 |
| I have just the book for you! |
Also doubles as personal assistant chic.
 |
| Yes, yes pick up your dry cleaning and then file the Peterman account. |
And look the back is really pretty.
 |
| More gathers cause they're awesome. |
After giving this a really good pressing I'm super pleased with it. The pattern changes aren't too hard to do and I'll explain them in my next post.
