It's drop-dead gorgeous and you look stunning. Kudos to you for your clever mods, too. I am going to have to exercise some serious willpower to avoid making this one!

Wow! It's stunning. I saw the sweater in the magazine and didn't think much of it. Your version is amazing and is a good fit/style for you. Great pics, too.
P.S. Nice red socks or tights.

It looks fantastic! I love that you made a sweater w/builky yarn look not at all bulky. The magazine version looks downright dowdy compared to yours. Well done.

You look fantastic in this cardigan and I love the colour. And I totally know what you mean about the lag between finishing a sweater and posting about it. I have a cardigan that's been done since the end of Sept. and I still don't have the photos done. I even have the post written!

Holy crap, Veronique, that sweater is amazing. It fits you like a glove and looks stunning. I am really tempted to knit this one!! Love the buttons and good job on the mods. Frustrating that VK was unhelpful. It's great!

Very lovely! I'm afraid all of the mods would have really intimidated me - but you handled these beautifully. What a great fit and lovely details. This is one of your most amazing projects to date, in my opinion! Two thumbs up. And a nice photo shoot, too.

That sweater looks fantastic. It's 100 times more flattering and eye-catching than either the magazine or Anthropologie versions, and I imagine that the Malabrigo feels more fabulous, too!

I'm totally in awe of your fixing and sleuthing...I can't believe the sell it at Anthro! But yours is better, and doesn't have such a stupid name.
I also have a huge backlog on FO pix. The daylight thing, it's a problem...

Oh, Veronique, this is a lovely cardi! I agree with a previous poster that the sample in VK looks positively dowdy compared to your cardi (and your fabulous front stoop photoshoot!). I wouldn't have given the sweater a second look but now I might have to.... enjoy it!
