Itch to Stitch Lisbon Cardigan – No Buttons though!
Fresh off the Day and Night Dress Challenge, Coffee and Cocktails, I’m headed to Lisbon… … the Lisbon Cardigan by Itch to Stitch, that is. I cut out my pattern pieces and fabric with the help of Sophie! I love this knit fabric, a “shades of grey” (and black) paisley Topaz knit, 85% polyester, 10%…
