I have spent so many years poring throught knitting magazines and attempting to to make items, but I'm afraid I have to come to the conclusion that knitting is not for me (yet)! So then the thought occurred to me. Why not crochet?? Well, I was always under the impression that crochet was unfashionable, just granny sqaures and mittens BUT.... I have since discovered that a whole new world of crochet designs is coming through. The latest being on the catwalks of Milan. I never knew crochet could look so good in garments. Anyway, this is my first attempt at a cardigan and if you see the original pattern you'll wonder how I ended up with this lol. The pattern has a collar, cuffed sleeves, a longer vest etc. - but I actually really love the way my mistaken version turned out. The wide sleeves and no collar remind me of a kimono.

I've been crocheting a granny square blanket for a little while now. I'm impressed that you are able to crochet all those different elements of the cardigan. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do that.
Thanks a lot.
I would never have believed it but I bought a couple of crochet magazines. This one is from Crochet Today, and they explain it in such simple terms that I found I could follow it.
You should give it a shot!
