Welcome lizzy.cos! I have that magazine too, and that cardigan is adorable.
Also, MopTopStumptown, when I started this project I did a search here at craftster to see if anyone else had made it and found yours. It is wonderful! I hope mine is as nice

Last count I had about 26 squares done. You could start to see how the back is going to look if I could get a picture taken that is not absolute yuck

Did not let lack of progress on that project, or lack of time, prevent me from starting another one from the same book

A friend and I are working this pattern together while she learns to crochet. We're doing two different colors. Unfortunately, we won't see hers here because she's not on craftster. (I don't understand it, either.)
