do you know the only thing better than making a tea leaves cardigan?

making one with a friend!

amy and i made the tea leaves cardigan by melissa la barre, hers in a pretty pink, mine in blue

i am not having amy talk into my hand, hee hee, we felt awkward standing there and pretending to hold flowers seemed a good way to feel at ease. you can see here how each sweater was customized with small changes. amy made the body of hers a little shorter, mine a bit longer. her sleeves are longer and mine are three quarter length.

but i made a mistake. i made mine a little too big.

oops!

i was hoping for a lot of positive ease, wanting a comfy sweater to throw on for early morning foggy cool walks on the beach (still have to add the afterthought pockets) 

the color of the wool matched the blues of the water and sky yesterday

sort of kind of too big tea leaves cardigan, that i don't have the heart to unravel

pattern:  madeline tosh tea leaves by melissa la barre
wool:  madeline tosh ~ tosh dk
colorway: well water
ravelry notes: here
amy has cleverly made her skirt, my dress is from here

reading: the last rhinos by lawrence anthony and graham spence. i've only just begun this book, but it's by the same authors of the elephant whisperer, which i really loved. oh! and i had an email from jonas in africa this very morning, he received the nkozi book!

joining with ginny, happy yarn along!
