Making My First Cardigan?!

I am so excited! That's right...I'm going to bite the bullet and make a cardigan for me!  I know...I'm crocheting something to wear...something fashionable, (I hope). 

 So, I picked out a pattern that is very popular on Ravelry and is "Easy" and...has no seams...and...is cute!

Chevron Lace Cardigan

Isn't this the cutest sweater you ever saw?




I just hope I can make the right size and of course the right color and the right yarn! Well, for starters it calls for a "J" hook. Now that I can handle. I have a couple of "J" hooks so I think I'm ready!

Oh yes, the yarn choice. Well, I have this beautiful yarn I bought in Colorado on vacation last Summer. Cascade Yarns Hertage Silk in Vino..




I'm not sure the fingering weight will work since this is calling for a DK. So, we will see. I'm just gonna do it. Wish me luck and I will keep you updated as often as I can.
