    About

    I've made several Yamagata summer jumpers this year, in different graded colourways - see crsp ravelry projects. With the excitement of the Olympics, I thght a rainbow colourway would work. Then as a twist, decided to adapt the pattern to a cardigan, so I can wear it to work as well as to my brother's birthday party next weekend. Finished with three hours of Olympic TV coverage to go - my ersonal goal achieved... Not only matching the stripes, but getting the buttons and buttonholes even, as well as matching the stripes at the front. Very pleased with the result.
