Cardigan of Doom (and Summer Bag)

Unfortunately, the cardigan that I've been knitting on turned out to be a real Cardigan of Doom. I’ve been working on it for quite some time, mainly because it needed so much frogging. Reasons for this were:

• there turned out to be a big color difference between the Strange Harvest skeins, so I had to find out the best way to deal with that. The flash makes it looks a little worse than it does in real life, but still…
• I found out that I didn’t have enough yarn to complete the cardigan, so I had to order more and re-knit the sleeves. Even now I’ve only got a very little bit of yarn left.

I must say though that the front looks very nice now though, and I love the buttons.

Oh well...

I finished the crocheted bag some time ago, but I kept forgettting to take pictures of it. 

The other thing I've been working on is a really nice cross-stitch project, but I'll show that later.
