I’m so excited :woot:about this FO, it’s my first cardigan and it’s lace and I love it!
It’s free from Knitty and is called Oblique by Veronik Avery. It has shaping, which I like, and obviously fits MY shape.
I’m short (5’ 3"), so I did one [U]less[/U] of the increases the pattern called for on the hip, I was afraid it would be too long.
I’ll post more pics later, when the sun is in my favor.
It looks beautiful, and fits well. great job. love the colour
Just went to check out the pattern. Looking on knitty I much prefer your cardigan.
Ooh, love it!
Beautiful. What a great picture too.
It’s beautiful!!! I can’t wait to work on mine. 
It looks lovely on you! What a great job you did, and for it to be your first cardi and your first lace is wonderful.

You asked for it, here’s the back. I’ll get some up close shots today. Thanks for all the kind words. Seeing these pics REALLY motivate me to lose weight! LOL!
Fantastic job!!! I just LOVE this sweater. I will put it on my to-do list and plan for a nice deep rich red colour!
It was such a fun knit, and I have enough of some burgundy to do another…and am tempted, but am not sure if I wouldn’t be happier with 2 different cardis. Go for it! There’s a KA here on KH.
Here’s a closeup of stitching of the back when it was a WIP:
It’s gorgeous!!
Yes, another photo please. That one is gorgeous, but we can’t see the lace and details. Your first cardigan is a great success!!
Oh, there are more. (I had not read all the posts.) Thanks for the pictures.
Lovely work!
It’s beautiful! Great color and fit. What an ambitious project for your first cardigan. You did a wonderful job. Lovely picture, too.
What a great job! Really fits you well
