This afternoon I was able to start knitting the cardigan for my friends little girl.
I am using white chunky wool that was frogged from another jumper, so long ago now, that I can't remember why or what it was.
I think I have enough to do a jumper and cardigan for her. It was decided that I would do the cardigan first-the needles I needed for the jumper had another jumper already on them! I will get another pair later in the week as I don't fancy having to keep transfering the other yarn from needle to needle holder.
I have managed to knit the back and one of the fronts today. It is lovely to do a jumper that is done in row counts and not inches-or cms if I'm being metric. It grows so quickly. Hopefully I will be able to finish it tomorrow.

Some good things came out of sorting out my sewing basket and tin yesterday. I have now put all the reels of cotton into the tin, and all the other pins, needles and other bits are in the basket. No more tangles. I also found enough buttons to put on the baby jacket I completed last month.
Your knitting work is so beautiful. I love admiring the knitting of others since I am a knitting klutz and stick to real easy projects!
ReplyDeleteI also want to thank you for your kind words of encouragement on my blog.I love how the internet has proven that it's a small world after all!
Hmmm - multiple sets of needles. It's a slippery slope - ask me how I know!
ReplyDeleteLovely work.
Sounds like you are a very fast knitter.
ReplyDeleteCan I ask how many knitting projects do you have at any one time? :-)
How much more time would we have if it wasn't for the dreaded "H" word - waaaay more! That'll be a lovely jumper - can't believe just how fast you knit though! :0)
