Ribbon edged cardigan sans ribbon

The first project I started out of the Debbie Bliss book I found in the library was the ribbon edged cardigan. I couldn't find any ribbon that I liked so that decision was made.....no ribbon.Knitted in Bendigo 5ply wool on 3.75mm needles. The colour is sweet pea. I used heart shaped shell buttons.
I have just completed a short sleeved swing style jacket in bamboo and cotton from spotlight, for my daughter's friend Sophie who is having a baby early February. I am not sure that I like the yarn very much it splits and if you have to rip it back, it doesn't recover very well. But for a baby being born in February in Sydney it will be just the ticket.
