I managed to finish off three projects this week, my Antler a Cable Jumper for my youngest, and a hat for my husband, all perfect for the colder weather we have had over the last week. I will share pictures later in the week. I had thought I would cast on a jumper for my eldest next but I realised that I still have quite a few projects to complete as Christmas presents so they are going to take priority for now. I am going to stick to two projects on the needles one that I will do when my husband is around and slippers for when he isn't, he is receiving a pair so I don't want him to see them! I have nearly completed the sixth slipper, the second of a third pair and then will be half way through, with so many other projects on the needles I have neglected these of late they are quick to knit if I work on them!
So I cast on a baby knit this week, a Garter Stitch Cardigan which I decided to do in stripes. I had a few odd balls of baby suitable yarn in my stash one of which has lost it's ball band so I have no idea what it is. I hope I have enough to complete the project, one of these balls could be a bit too short. The pattern suggests three colours but you needed two balls of one colour which I didn't have. I think I will make the arms a bit shorter if it looks like I am running out.
Reading, I am still enjoying the quirky The Elephant Keepers' Children by Peter Høeg.
Joining in with Tami and Ginny for sharing yarn projects and reading.
I checked the pattern on ravelry. This cardigan is lovely! And yours is going to be even nicer due to the colours.
ReplyDeleteLovely knitting. I'm trying to decide what to cast on at the moment. The agony of indecision.
ReplyDeleteYou finished off three projects in one week, you are a busy bee:) ! Stripes are allways good to my opinion, so looking forward to see more of the baby cardigan.
ReplyDeleteYou sound very busy in the knitting department! Like the colors of your garter stitch cardi. I have two baby knits to make for the spring but can't decide what too make, but for the time being I also must get back to my christmas knitting which is sitting neglected in my project bag. Hope you are having a good week.
ReplyDeleteThe striping looks great! I have a list of presents I will have to be sticking to shortly after I get done with my Halloween socks. Oh that Christmas knitting!
ReplyDeleteI like the yarns you've chosen for the cardigan. I'm very impressed at you finishing 3 projects in one week too
ReplyDeleteVery nice color choice and the sweater is really, really cute !
