Tiffany Hansen When in April are we starting this CAL? ;) thanks. Thinking of when I need to make my yarn swatch and decide on which yarn I'm going to use. 

Thanks Tiffany Hansen one friend today recommended that maybe I should add a chord to it and that might help with the shoulder situation.

Finally finished making this alpine cardigan sweater, the Kazbek Cardigan, that I was pattern testing. I'm not very happy with how it came out, since it still sits too low on the shoulder so it fits uncomfortably and I feel like the sweater is falling off.  I'm honestly glad it's done since I spent way too much time making this....it felt like it took forever.  I used almost 2 cakes of lionbrand mandala bonus bundle yarn in colorway Satyrs and a 4.5mm crochet hook. I decided to not add the pockets so that my color striping could show and I am not going to add a zipper for now unless I can find a cheap zipper I can reuse from a thrifted sweater/hoodie. Pattern is from Heart Hook Home, https://hearthookhome.com/kazbek-cardigan-crochet.../

Very Beautiful!! Great job! :)

Tiffany Hansen thanks. Some of the yarn I'm considering using just arrived.  Herrschners has a tweed yarn I was looking at but it's a DK weight and possibly too thin but I did order their Heathers yarn and I ordered some brava tweed which is really nice. I've used it before.

I had to rush off and continue doing my work training and try to finish this test pattern for this sweater which has taken forever to make.. I missed the deadline and the designer hasn't replied back to my last question to her from last week...sigh.  Thanks for your help. I haven't made a gauge swatch yet since I just ordered one of the yarns I was thinking about possibly using but that yarn might be too thin.
