This is the sign that I can go on with life...the cardigan that has been taunting me, telling me that my brain was becoming atrophied and useless has finally become a finished object. The logjam in my brain, the place where ideas are backing up can now be disgorged for my own good. Here she is.
This is wool and angora and alpaca and silk and a little lurex lurking in there. Now that I am done, I can stand back and wonder why it took me so long to give birth to this thing, but knowing all that has gone on around here, I celebrate its arrival.
Oh MAN!! That's beautiful!! Yay You!! Are you keeping it or selling it?
What's next?

Lisa, I'm so glad you got past that block. As ever, that is just stunning! I think this and the Tuscan cardi have to be my favorites. May I have just a few of your creative brain cells. Please? Pretty please with sugar on top?

That is really impressive. Self-flagellation may get it done, but it doesn't seem to fit the FO. Lovely!

Looks fabu, Lisa! Just curious, what are the dimensions? And how deep is that back neck - I'm researching... mine are always too high...
