this is the sweater that never ends

Because I am wearing it today, you get a look at what I refer to as the Neverending Cardigan!

I call it "neverending" because I began this sweater last November and only finished it on the last day of March. I am never knitting a sweater for myself on size 4 needles again. And, while I had a bag of ten balls of yarn, it wasn't enough to finish, so I had to go a-hunting. Luckily a very nice woman swapped me her remaining 1.5 skeins for a ball of Regia!
