Stripey Cardigan in Red and Gold

I am making a stripey cardigan, it is in ribbing stitch throughout. There is the back, finished. Now I'm working on the left front and trying to decide what kind of collar to make, probably it will be a shawl collar. I like those. This is in sport weight cotton. Even though this cardigan is not finished, you can see some finished hand knit cardigans at My Good Babushka. Knitting, Art. Chainmail Jewelry

Autumn Blaze Cardigan

Thanks to Knitpicks, and their awesome full bag sale, I am making another cardigan, this time with cotton yarn. I've never used cotton before. It's pretty stretchy. In the top picture, you can see the back, half finished. In the bottom picture, you can see the front left. I've put in a pocket and the stitches that will be made into the pocket hem are on the holder. This will be a woman's cardigan.

I'd also like to add, Happy Birthday to me! I'm 39 today.
