The Bookish Cardi is a statement layering sweater. It features some of my favorite stitches and techniques: twisted stitches, crochet bobbles, and buttonholes which makes for an addictive knit that you won’t be able to put down! The cropped length, front button closure, and easy drop shoulder style make this the ultimate layering piece to mix and match with your wardrobe.
Deidre knit the 3rd size (with 2” added to the length) and used just over 3.5 skeins of Arranmore Light. Deidre knit the cardigan on 3.5mm and 4mm needles.
The pattern is by Annie Lupton (Boho Chic Fiber Co.) and you can purchase it on her website.

My dad is celebrating a big birthday today. 80! He’s still going strong. He goes to work everyday and still loves it. People ask Beth and I why he is still working - he should be retired. We tell them that he enjoys working and it would kill him to sit at home everyday. He does nap every afternoon but who wouldn’t have an afternoon nap if they could?
