I love this sweater. Some of the best dressed girls at work wear cardigans like this from very expensive shops and I drool. You look quite stylish in it, and it is really versatile. I think you have to go with the length that makes you feel most comfortable. It sounds like you are a little uncomfortable with the extra length, but it really does look great!Anna Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12378022187583861355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-69669575084626375952014-04-13T05:03:06.688-04:002014-04-13T05:03:06.688-04:00What a beautiful cardigan!!

The tails are generally just threaded into a long-eyed needle and woven back through the overlocked fabric edge. :)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-38043487599825144012014-04-05T09:18:59.708-04:002014-04-05T09:18:59.708-04:00Sergers have been on my mind lately, as I'm tr...Sergers have been on my mind lately, as I'm trying to decide whether to invest in one. I love the serving you did on this project -- the thread really does blend into the fabric! And thank you for all of your tips! As to the length, maybe you can pin it up a couple of inches to see if you like a shorter length. I'm petite so I'm always pinning up the hem to try and determine a hem length that looks right to my eyes.

I make little index cards and staple a serged fabric sample with my setting on there. Then next time I have a similar fabric I can have a better starting place. Having the sample really helps because fabrics that I remember being similar don't always have the same settings. Great Cardigan too, glad all the work was for a great finished product!Ms. McCallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190263303526887994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-51916535781459807852014-04-02T12:14:09.401-04:002014-04-02T12:14:09.401-04:00I think you are just not used to wearing this leng...I think you are just not used to wearing this length. It does not look out of proportion to my rheumy old eyes. Besides, soon the weather will turn warm enough that you'll fold away the sweater until September. It will seem fresh and new to you then, all over again! You can decide then whether to shorten it at all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14278139941024598595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-10253776382432237812014-04-02T11:52:19.353-04:002014-04-02T11:52:19.353-04:00This is a beautiful cardigan.
