Finished knitting object -pink wrap

 I finished this cardigan a good while ago, sometimes early this year. I have not posted about it, because we never photographed it. Even now, we went out to get some other pictures and I happened to have this with me. It would look a lot better with my jeans dress (I tend to use it with), but I had this dusty pink one on for the other photo, which does not go that well with the bluish tone of the yarn. But I wa slike, let's get some photos of this one too, who knows, if we would ever get to it again.

The yarn... Last year I picked up a Regia sock yarn, and even knitted a pair of socks (on the right side of this picture):

I liked it well enough to want a cardigan of it, but there was no more in the store, and I could not find this color elsewhere either. 

But then a package of pink-ish sockyarn popped up in the second hand store, I buy much of my yarn, and it reminded me of the Regia. No, it was not the same, it was more pink and less red, but and there was about 300-350 gramms of it, which is kind of rare for a second hand store to have that much of the same yarn.

I am not a big mohair fan, but I thought, adding some mohair-y yarn would soften... how should I put it... the sock-yarn-ness. 

I know, adding mohair is the craze these days, and I think it IS overrated, but if I am making a PINK sweater, I might go all out on the romance. So I got some pink Kid Silk from DROPS. 

The pattern is something I made up, a top-down, V necked raglan, and foldover front. The foldover /wrap style is my absolute favorite, it suited me, when I was a size 10, and suited me, when I wore size 16-18, so it suits me, when I am just in between the two extremes.
