Firstly thank you for all the comments this week, actually just thank you for all the comments – my sister in law has told me I should reply more and although I am a bit rude in this respect I do read and cherish each and every one. ‘Put that bucket down it wasn’t that soppy.’ I am feeling somewhat better today. I had a kip (nap) after a tiny bit of shopping (whilst B hoovered – so I was well away) and I’ve generally only felt tired/fatigued really as opposed to unwell plus my temp seems to have maintained a respectable level.
I may not have a new creative space (it’s currently still got the scrap quilts from last week all over it and knitting hasn’t hit a production high) so I thought I’d share these little jackets I made for the South Africa consignment via our GP’s receptionist (I really need to find a way to shorten that).
I wanted a quick cardigan pattern but something that could be un-problematically sized up – the five hour cardi pattern I used last year was more matinee style so, for me, didn’t size up well for older children. I found Garter Yoke Baby Cardi, which I think is more jackety and would look just as good on a toddler as a baby.
I completed four. One in Snuggly 4ply with novelty yarn trim…
One in double knitting…
This one has I-cord trim on the buttonhole border and I think is probably my favourite. Here’s the back…
Another is in the remnants of the recent aran crocheting binge…
B liked this one best and picked it to be entered in the Rainford Show, which was fortunate as the one in Snuggly DK, with shell buttons, which he nearly went for…
