Trixie cardigan

And... another vintage pattern.  I spotted Trixie from one of the early series of Call the Midwife wearing the jumper from this pattern (hence the name).  The midwives have some lovely clothes in that show!

This was also another stashbusting project which is why the sleeves are a different colour from the body and also why the sleeve cuffs are striped.  I had to do some emergency surgery on the sleeves when I ran out of yarn on the second one.  I had to remove the cuff on the first sleeve and add in another stripe sequence.

The buttons came from The Swagman's Daughter.

I had to go down to 2.5mm needles to get the right tension so this took a while to knit, however I really enjoyed the process and may well knit another at some point.
