The sweater (cardigan to me) looks great and you should feel really happy it's done now, @kimmac :D
I think I understand how you feel though; sometimes we just have a 'vision' and what we make doesn't match it up. As we don't know what your vision was, we just enjoy the colours and the shape of your creation.
Thanks @cryptocariad! I'll find out Friday if it's accepted. I can honestly say that I like it for myself. I think the gallery setting made me feel differently about it.
