Star stich one piece cardigan


I've been crocheting for 48 years and still find it very relaxing. There was, of course, stretches of time that I didn't crochet, because I was ocupied with one of my other intersts, like quilting,recycling denim or reading. I like to crochet afghans and clothing now and then. Its a pity that I don't have many photos of all the projects I'v done through the years - and there were many.
I've started a cardigan last year, making it up us I go, using the star stich. I started at the bottom back and crocheted the whole thing in one piece.  The only sewing that was needed was for the underarm seams.i will try this again sometime, but with a different crochet stitch and different yarn.  I fel in love with the yarn in the shop, it really looked amazing in the skein, but when crocheted, not so much. I intended it for myself to wear around the house, but then saw  someone who need it more than me and gave it away.  The recipient was very happy with it
