concord cape cod

Next up is another Baby Cocktails design, Cape Cod.  I'm using Diamond Luxury Merino Bamboo, the same yarn I used for my Mandarin Mimosa, also a Baby Cocktails pattern.  This one will be made with short sleeves as I don't have the required yardage and am hoping to squeeze out a short-sleeved version.  I've just cast on, but the yarn is lovely and purple.  Not the cranberry used in a Cape Cod cocktail, but mine will be grape instead:
I'm making this as part of the Anthropologie Group KAL, with a focus on lace and patterns from group designers.  Goal is to have it done before the end of school (end of June).

I finished my pink cropped cardigan.  Love it!  The cropped length and 3/4 sleeves mean I will get to wear it three seasons - a tee underneath in spring/fall, or a long-sleeved shirt underneath in winter.  Love the colour, it brightens me up!
