Cable and Rib Jacket from Wish You Were Here by Debbie Bliss
Ripple Scarf from Simply Knitting Issue 77
Design 2300 from Henhouse Girls and Barnyard Boys
Design from Sirdar Nursery Knits
The first project is one I started for myself this week. I really love how it is knitting up in the denim blue colorway. Hopefully I can get some more done today after I finish the last sleeve of a test knit for Tikki. I am hoping tomorrow will be sunny so I can block it out and take some nice pictures of Isabelle in it.
The second project is a little scarf project I started a few weeks ago. I completed one repeat of the pattern and I dont know if I really love it or not, but thought I should continue to see how it blocks out. If I dont like it then I can just gift it to my sister as she loves scarves. I am sure she has a large collection of them by now.
The third project is a cardigan for Isabelle out of Sirdar Supersoft Aran. It is lovely and squishy and the pattern is only a 4 row repeat which is super easy to remember so it knits up quite quickly. I have also finished half of the front too.
The last little project is a little cardigan for Eden from Sirdar Nursery Knits book. I found this yarn in my stash and thought it was perfect for her. I saw her yesterday wearing one of my handknits and thought she had grown a bit so time for a new one. Her big sister Enya's birthday is next week too so I am hoping to knit her one the same in a different color. I only started it yesterday so I got a little bit done.
Now since I have all these projects I really need to learn how to add those sidebar projects toolbar so I can keep tabs on them all, otherwise some will end up in the basket never to see daylight again. I have to say I emptied out all of my old projects and either gave the yarn away or the project so I didnt have any waiting to be finished. It felt good to start with a clean slate.
I am having my mum, my friend and my sister over today for a knitting group (but my sister will be quilting) so it should be nice and cosy with cups of tea and the odd milo, and a few chocolate biscuits. I hope to get some knitting accomplished but I am sure I will be doing more talking instead. Hope you all have a lovely weekend. I am happy because Paul will be back tomorrow after 2 weeks being away for work!
