scull cardigan *chart added*

[violentlyknits]

After six months of knitting I am finally finished and I'm so extremely pleased with he result. This is the first thing I've knitted that actually was worth it. I'm never knitting intarsia again though. (modifying: It's not intarsia. It's stranding. I'm just not very well aquainted with english knittingterms) Damn, it's time consuming. My first plan was to make the arms in the scull-pattern too, but that would have taken too much time and I would probably have given up.

sorry for the bad picture quality.

Wow, I can only imagine how time consuming that was.  And I don't even knit.  But it looks awesome!

wow! nice work...i like that the sleeves are green instead of the skull pattern. it kind of changes it up a bit. anyway...you will be so stylin this fall...and warm!

Love it.  What pattern is that?  My 13 year old daughter would love this!
It looks great.  Intarsia is a pain, though.  I have a felted bag I am working on and it requires intarsia.  That thing is taking me so long to make, because I keep putting it down because of all that intarsia. 

Great job.  All the trouble was worth it and I like the contrasting sleeves.

Fantasic work! I hate instarsia too - I think I've only ever made one thing using it.
I really like the red trim around the outside.

Awesome work!  Can you see my envy?!?

[damn your eyes]

Very cool print! Also, I think making the sleeves solid black was a good call

[crzychick]

Wow....that looks great! Those 6 months have been worth it...

[iSearchToBeLost]

amazing! what size needles did you use?

[mllejessy]

This is AMAZING!  I'm totally jealous.  Did you make the skull pattern or find it somewheres? 
(Add me to the people who like that the sleeves are solid color, too)
