Ingrid Cardigan lives!

On the coldest day so far, I finally finished my cardigan, which is great, as it is 19 degrees here today! My son obliged me in taking some photos. On the whole I am pleased with how it came out, as I gave in to the zipper fetish I seem to have. There is just something so cozy and symmetrical about zippers. Maybe it is the nice hug feeling, or the fact that, despite shaping and such, I always feel buttons will gape and open unattractively. Anyway, I have nearly finished writing up the pattern, except for the size modifications, and then it will be ready for prime time.
Now I'll have to finish my blue cardigan, and then contemplate my next project...
Here it is with collar up...and then, back view:
And finally side:

How did you get it done and put a zipper in between 7:30 last night and 1:47 (yes--that's the time you posted)?!? It is positively gorgeous!

Gorgeous is an understatement. Love it with the collar up. And the shaping is marvelous. So flattering. My highest respects,
Melody
