motivated by stripes

Yesterday at Goodwill I happened upon the perfect stripes in the form of a very strange lace up shirt.  The stripes are the exact colors of a cardigan that I've been working on for the little miss - a simple neck-down raglan out of a pink-red-brown Cascade 220.  With a little help from Kath's kid's pants tutorial, I whipped out some stretchy stripey pants and now can't wait to finish off the edge of the cardigan.  Yes I just said that -- I never ever am excited about the finishing involved in a knitting project.  The completion, yes; but never the finishing.  Funny how a lace-up shirt can change one's perspective...
