Old cardigan get´s a new life

I added a neon orange crochet edging around a purple cardigan I knitted while pregnant in 2010.  Here is a picture of the previous owner in the sweater.


And here is a picture of little sister in the same cardigan,


 There is now one button missing, it is really a shame since now there is a bit to much space between the remaining buttons and I couldn´t been bothered to move one of the buttons. I never really used this cardigan for my older girl, as it is a bit thick. It was more spur of the moment thing. I'm also planning to improve my non-existing crochet skills this year so it is about time to start.. almost one quartal of the year finished.


Closer look at the crochet edging.


I love the fact that I picked out this neon orange when I was a kid and that this is leftovers from when my mom knitted me a neon orange sweater :)
