A Little R & R

I've been craving the Slouchy Cardigan for the longest time now.
The pattern is found in the Greetings from Knit Cafe book by Suzan Mischer, which I've had in my knitting book collection for years.
As I often do with brand new knitting books or magazines I bring home, I immediately dive into them, skim through the patterns and mark everything I fancy.
While absorbing the deliciousness of every pattern and fantasizing knitting all of them, this cardigan suddenly grabbed my full-attention. Personally, I feel this sweater epitomizes everything having to do with rest and relaxation. It was big. It was comfy. It was slouchy, and I loved it, so I immediately marked it with a post-it... and it remained "posted" for a few years.

This afternoon, I finally committed myself to this project.
As soon as I was off from work, I drove straight to the store to purchase the skeins needed for my slouchy cardigan. I'm ready!
I also grabbed some chocolate because sometimes a girl just needs chocolate.
