I love it when people ask me what is on my knitting needles today. I usually have a couple of projects going at the same time: one large project and one small project. Socks are my typical small project, however today I have a cowl on my needles and my large project really is not on needles. It is a cardigan which is complete except sewing on the pockets, buttons and knitting the optional Festive Fur collar. Unfortunately I am not happy with the body length. It is really a jacket but seems too short even though I added an 1″ to the length. It looks great on the mannequin but God made me with a long torso. What do you think I should do? I am considering a peplum.

Aren’t the “short jackets” in right now? I’d just wear a long, fitted, coordinating shirt underneath. Cute! and I love the colors and stitch on the top picture!

Thanks Wendy! I guess I should just finish it, wear it awhile and then I can decide if I need to do something else. I will post the completion of the cowl in a week or so. Can you tell I like striping yarns?

Love the look of the cardigan. Don’t like peplums – what do I know?

Thanks – and I would probably agree about the peplum. That is why it is still on the mannequin.

I’ll look forward to seeing how it turns out 🙂
