The original version is knitted up with a gorgeous yellow green called Hubberholme, as well as lighter burgundy, yellow, and brown edging. Although I love these colors, I thought I need something to go with my navy blue work clothes and changed colors. I am quite happy with my color choices: Askrigg, Wensley, Burnsall, and Gunnerside.
A friend of mine said the cardigan reminded her of a Chanel jacket. Now, that is a compliment. Then, another friend said that this is the best garment I've ever knitted. Oh, my!
In stead of requiring two balls each of the four colors, I needed a third ball of the three colors used in stripes. I think it is because I knit relatively loosely and I may have knitted sleeves longer than instructed. At any rate, with such compliments, I cannot complain about this garment.

Gorgeous! It looks great with the pencil skirt.
