Isabelle tried on the cardigan before heading off for netball practice. Sorry the photo is so dark but it has started pouring with rain so everything is dark and gray this afternoon. I have to say that I loved knitting this cardigan and the bottom parts took practically no time at all. The yoke took 2 nights of knitting and measuring as it is done sideways so you have to stretch to fit and make sure you finish on the right row! I used less than the 4 balls which was recommended, but beware that the original pattern states 7 which was an error (there is a little correction page on the inside of the cover). I only used half of the 3rd ball so I have a ball and a half to use on another project later on.
The next projects to finish are the test knitting projects. One sock left to do which I showed Kate last week. Another cardigan/jacket pattern - the body is nearly finished, just need the sleeves and bands to do. I also need to finish off the soon to be born nephew jackets and I am going to knit them some little stripey hats too. I cant show Paul's grandmothers though because they want the sex kept as a surprise so I may have to hide my knitting on the weekend as they coming up for a visit for Isabelle's birthday party. I should be very busy over the next few days shouldn't I.
