Pattern: Ombre Cardigan
Yarn: Tanis Fiber arts Pink Label in 'Chestnut' and 'Brick'
Needles: 4 mm circulars.
Mods: None.
Notes: This is one of those perfect sweaters that you know will be a wardrobe staple. I love the easy fit and clean lines, and the ombre effect is the perfect amount of interest- not too much, not too little. It's totally a wardrobe classic.
It's knit using two strands of laceweight held together, which was nice- it knit up pretty quickly and it was fun to watch the colour shifts. really enjoyed using one of the brand new TFA colourways, too- Brick is a really gorgeous shade, just right for fall. I can tell I'll be wearing this a lot!
The kitties were really keen on getting in on the photoshoot action (or at least just wanted my attention), but then refused to sit pretty when I tried to include them:
Cats. What can you do.

It's gorgeous! I wants to make it nows! (I'll trades you one blue sweater for it?)
(The cats have requested that I write in LOLspeak just for them).
Wonderful color combination, and it is definitely a wardrobe staple! Enjoy your new bit of fall :)
My cats do the same thing. And the sweater looks great! If I wasn't in pre-holiday knitting panic, I'd be tempted to do one myself.
I love it too, a beautiful classic.
Wow, I love that! I've just added it to my own queue.
It's so stunning, Julie. I agree with you that this will be a wardrobe classic for years to come! Kitties are such drama queens. ;)
Ohh love it! That coloring is so pretty and clever. I love the ombre look and I never thought of working it into knitting. So pretty!
It's so beautiful. I know feel the sudden urge to make this.... uh oh :) Love the cats.
Brick and chestnut go so beautifully together. So excited to see TFA's new autumn colors and your Ombre highlights brick perfectly. Can't wait to cast on. As for your kitties, we need to find yarns in their colors.
I love it!!! Such a great staple and love the colors you chose.
Oh wow. This is stunning. The colors that you used are perfect. Bring on Fall!
Beautiful! These are definitely your colours! I think a simple cardi like this is just what my wardrobe needs. Oh the queue it growith.
It's gorgeous! I may have to look into knitting this for myself.
i love it! also i wish i could squeeze your giant cat.
Very very cute.
Классный котяра! И кофточка красивая.
That may be the biggest cat I've ever seen. Maybe if my biggest cat was so fluffy he would be close though.
The sweater is lovely, btw.
It's gorgeous. And as luck would have it, I will see Tanis and her yarns tomorrow a the Kitchener Waterloo Knitters Fair. Might just have to buy this pattern and yarn. thanks for the link
That's so beautiful! It looks fantastic on you :)
What a gorgeous sweater. And like you said classic. will never go out of style
It's a lovely cardi! Not to say perfect for this time of the year!
NICE! perfect fall color. Umm and how big is that orange cat?! haha he's so cute
Beautiful! The ombre effect is such fun and the silhouette is perfect for you. Oh, and the kitters are adorable!
Love your cardigan! Now I want a simple ombre one too. :) Your cats kinda reminded me of this funny video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHXBL6bzAR4
I love the colours you've chosen. It's gorgeous! I was just admiring the new Brick colourway on Tanis' blog... I have a feeling this colour will be everywhere this fall!
Beautiful!
Can't beat something this classic. Love!
Classic and beauty!
Excellent colors. Love the shots with the kitties! That orange one is so huge and cuddly looking!
It's really beautiful, the colors and the pattern...I really like it!
And the cats are adorable too.
That looks wonderful, Julie, especially with your coloring. The ombre effect is just right!
This is so gorgeous! I totally want one in cream/eggyolk/mustard tones like, right NOW.
oooh, it turned out beautifully! i'm such a sucker for classic shapes!
It is hard to beat a classic cardigan like this. It is lovely and I really like the color combinations.
So cool! I've been thinking about doing an ombre project lately, and this may be the one for me. Your cats are hilarious, btw. :)
Wow, this is just GORGEOUS! And I'm laughing at the cat shots... they are the perfect cat type of shots. :)

Absolutely beautiful! Love it!:)
Lovely cardigan. I noticed, though, that yours is much longer and less fitted than the version that Tanis made. Was this intentional?
the sweater is beautiful. Love, love love the kitty cameos!
So pretty! I love how just two colours look like they slowly fade into each other.
Beautiful! I just love the colours in this one.... so 'autumn-y'.
I Love this and color is perfect =)
Love the colour(s)! Wish I had enough patience to knit a sweater!
I Love your cats.. WHat are there names??? They are huge...
So pretty! You look so good in it.
