design a knitting pattern

mission accomplished –
i designed a grey alpaca cardigan using Barbara Walker’s knitting from the top – I put maritime silver buttons on it and it’s super soft. no, it’s definitely not perfect, but i needed a dark cardigan since i left my favorite one on a plane (RIP), and it’s mine and i made it and designed it and everything. consider gauge conquered.

i am so in awe of the people who design for knitty.com – it’s so fancy; i can barely get my guage down. i just don’t know if i have the skills to pull something cool looking together. does anybody know of a book that can help?
