My FIRST Knitted Cardigan!

I’ve done it! I’ve knitted fearlessly and conquered my aprehension of knitting my own garment. I was worried it wouldn’t fit, I’ll make a mistake and won’t want to wear it, the colour might be all wrong for my skin tone and the pessimism goes on. Well, I did make mistakes but I’ve managed to hide them and I’ve worn my cardigan out!

I know I don’t look very thrilled in the photo but I did alot of driving today which I’m not used to and the wind was icy cold! I’m grinning on the inside. Heeee…


‘February Lady Sweater’ Free Knitting Pattern

Just take a look at the pretty lacework. It was easy (didn’t even need a lifeline) and the cardigan knitted up quickly. It took me only 3 weeks and I only knitted about 5 hours a week!

And I found the most perfect buttons for this too. They look like chocolate eclairs on a sea of strawberry sauce.

I’m thrilled with the results that I’m really looking forward to my next knitted wear. I’ve ordered more Malabrigo yarn and I can’t wait to get started on the most gorgeous looking jacket in the world – Sylvi.

This is the most lovely project I’ve ever knitted. The yarn is soft, the colour perfect for me and I just love the lace on it. Don’t you agree, Musings of a Fat Chick? She is giving away lovely stitchmarkers on her blog. Check her website out!

Bargain!

For $40, I got myself a large glass outdoor table and an umbrella with stand. $40! Thanks to a colleague who is doing a little spring cleaning. He even delivered them for me. You’re a champ, Dave!
