The leftover of leftovers

 Just as I was mentioning the petrol colored bubble pants, there was the story of the overdyed sockyarn and the Love in a Mist sweater... and the hat I have knitted from the leftovers, and the mittens I did...

And there I still had some of that turqouise yarn leftover, and I was wondering what to do with it. A small-ish wrap cardigan seemed like a good solution. What else, didn't I tell you I love the style, and I feel it suits me, and the way I dress in modern clothes? I like to wear if over dresses, in enchances the waistline, while warming up one's shoulder or arms. I did not look for any particular pattern, as I thought, I can make up one from my head.

I do have a copious amount of light gray fingering/sport-weight yarn, and it was not too difficult to find a few skeins of the gray Flora, I used for the sweater/hat/mittens.

I was looking for a really simple pattern, as not to kill/ broke up the color of the yarn too much. 

And I decided on this very simple diamond pattern in inverse stripes.

It travelled me me on trains...

And then I could see, what wonders a good blocking can do.

The style of the sweater is a simple, top-down raglan, with a foldover front-line, long ties. 

And I was still enamored, how the yarn and the simple pattern played with each other.

I usually wear it either over my petrol colored baby-courdory dress, or the one of the petrol linen dress I have,  (much like in this phone picture from the Day of wool event): 

but we got around to do some photos, when I was wearing with a long (foldover) white shirt.

Now, I -almost- used up the last bits of that yarn.
