Progress

  My Knitting is going well, a simple pattern to follow, 
no scratching my head, trying to work out details,
 simple design which knits up quickly.
 Working in garter stitch for the yoke was quick and simple, 
the increase seam is so neat and tidy, 
For the contrast, I am using the Burrow & Soar hand dyed yarn, 
which I unpicked from this shawl. 
 This design shows the colours much better, and looks very pretty, the stripes in places blends with the main colour, but it's a soft look. I was going to use other plain shades but I think this works better. 
 Knitting so far
 Yarns being used. 
Its cold outside, not raining, but rain is due again and it's oh so cold, so loving knitting and reading sat inside in the warm.

  2. Well that's knitting up rather quickly isn't it :-) Just my sort of knitting, nice and relaxing, nothing too taxing on the brain, lol. You'll have it done in no time.

  3. Today we actually had sunshine and it was even quite warm! We went for a long walk in the dunes, then drove to the car wash and even got out the hoover and hoovered and cleaned all inside the car. Amazing how a bit of sunshine gets you motivated. Best, Jane x

  6. You'll have your cardigan knitted up in no time, especially now you've done the yoke, it'll be all plain sailing from here. Just as well that you're getting on with it now as I know you'll be out in the garden just as soon as the weather improves.
