A classic turn to the side, hands in pockets pose in the sunset-colored cardigan. The sleeve appears to have a slight flare near the cuff from this angle.

An angled view of the back of the sweater highlights the colors transitioning to purple and blue near the edge from oranges and pinks throughout the body.

The weather has been a touch cooler in the last week, so I managed to snap some photos of my #HexaGrannyCardigan
Yarn is seven colorways of #BriarRoseFibers Charity from stash.

I'm doing it. I don't mind spending more time with these colors, especially in daylight. The small ball is the two rows I removed, and the big ball is for reworking the sleeve. So far, my splices are not lining up with the row changes (I'm using less yarn this second time).

A man models a recently blocked granny stitch cardigan in tonally variegated rings of dark sunset colors starting with orange and rust, moving through reddish pink, purple, and ending with a touch of blue. The oversized fit in the sleeve falls just a bit long over the hand.

An arrow points to a place on the sleeve where a couple reddish pink rows could be removed without losing the successive color changes

#HexaGrannyCardigan update: after blocking I am pretty happy except for the sleeve length. I think taking out two rows may do the trick, but the rows I want to remove are further up the sleeve.
I spit-spliced at almost every row, so it'll be interesting to see where the joins fall. #MenWhoCrochet

A white man wearing an unblocked crocheted cardigan in dark sunset colors holds his arms out and lifts his foot toward the camera. It's sexy because the leg is showing. (It's not sexy.)

A peek at the body of the cardigan shows blue and purple border colors around mostly orange and deep pink granny clusters

The work is done (hopefully) on my #HexaGrannyCardigan; I'm just waiting for it to dry from a full wet block. The fit after it dries? We'll see.
