Yes there seems generally a trend to adventurous pattern mixes in fashion... I am a bit late, but I currently try to fight my sad mood with weird colours/patterns.
And yes (feeling slightly ashamed) I think I made many sweaters... three Rosa P designs (one is only cut out, not finished yet) and two Stella sweater. But I already have dreams of a boxy and wide raglan shirt and in the new fibremood magazine is a wonderful long and ruffled dress.... but the latter is perhaps to advanced for me.
And with the cardigan: it is a gift from my mother and I also love it very much 😍😍
