Just knit

It's growing at a pace, on the design there are 12 insets of colour, I am at 9, I often change the length, but I'm not at a point where I need to make the decision.  It's looking really good, I should have shaped the waist in, but at my age and size, it's not a great idea, so I am knitting straight to the hem. 

 I love the shades of colour in the contrast, 

it is much better than I hoped. 

 Without stretching any bit the stripes match

 I have noticed a flaw, in the last row of garter stitch in the yoke, I think I may have dropped a stitch and picked it up the wrong way, this is in the middle of the back section and I am not happy. Normally I would be unpicking, because I hate knowing there is a flaw, but this can be sorted by hand stitching the loop to look like a purl row, I will do it before any more knitting, because if it does not look right, I will unpick back to the top. 

I will need to order some more of this light green yarn, when I sorted this design, I was going to use all the colours, I have 4 x 50grms, which was enough yarn to complete the cardigan. BUT I used the one contrast, so now I need 4 balls of yarn, plus I still have the 4 contrast balls, what to do with them.
I purchased the book below and will need a few balls of cotton yarn, I have loads of small balls of different colours, so I will only need body colours. Should take my order up to £25 and free shipping.
