Sunburst Sweater done in time for Mother's Day

The knitting went really fast. It was a little hard to figure out how to block and I'm still tweaking around with it. Although I'm not a big fan of drop stitch patterns, The dropped stitches at the bottoms of the sleeves (picture forthcoming), add a nice lightness. I hope my mom will like it.

I'm thinking about making this sweater but I'd love to make it as a regular cardigan. Need to figure that out.

I think it would be pretty easy to do as a regular cardigan. If I were going to do that I would follow the pattern up to where you start the right and left fronts. Then I would knit then vaguely rectangularly, with neck shaping and add on the shawl collar after the sides were done. That's a good idea.
