Another finished sweater

This is another sweater I knit when I wasn't blogging. This one was for my sister, done from a pattern for "Aran Cardigan" in an old (1997) issue of Cast On. I used some Pinquoin I had in my stash and loved it. So soft and the pattern took only a little tinkering to look exactly the way I wanted it to.

Here's a close up of the back, where you can see the alternating seed stich and ribbing done inside the cable areas. It was another pattern that was a joy to do...plenty to keep my interest alive!
I made it a bit longer than called for....my sister would not have liked it nearly as short as the pattern wanted. I wish the color were better. It really is a lovely pale blue.
