I don't know if you remember but some months ago I started knitting with some lovely green yarn to make a short sleeved cardigan from this pattern. It's been a while since I did any more to it but now it's finished at last!
I made it to go with my summer skirts that each have a touch of the same grassy green in them. The weather's a bit too cold for cotton skirts now but I think this might go very nicely with warmer clothes too.
After the joyless joining of pieces, (yes I love the knitting part but hate the sewing-together torture.) I really needed to make something that didn't involve fiddley ends so my next project is knitted all in one piece. It's a cowl scarf from this pattern and it's done on a round needle, something I've never used before, in fact I didn't even know they existed until I read that's what I needed to make it!
No pieces to join together at the end - oh bliss! :)
Can I also say thankyou to Yvonne from Coramantic who kindly posted my paintings on her blog today. Go and see her lovely art too!
That looks nice Jess!! Wish I could knit.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous, lovely colour combination, I love green too! Look forward to seeing your cowl scarf x
ReplyDeleteIt's never too late Nadia! :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I used to knit a lot when I was in my 20s, but for some reason I never seem to have time these days. I should take it up again... it's a great way to relax.
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is amazing !
ReplyDeleteI swear,if you did not mention you
knitted it yourself,I would have
assumed it was store bought.
Must have taken you a long time
to finish,but well worth it,looks great on you,and goes well with your
skirt.
Take care.
Jess, I love the new colors of the yarn you got. The blues, greens, purples on it are amazing.

ReplyDeleteAlso loving the whiskers ! I am so in love with my cozy ktties here these days, as the evenings are dark and cold and a kitty in your lap is the best !

Nice job! I simply don't have the patience for knitting. Took me years to do a single scarf. *cringe*

ReplyDeleteVictoria
I always find it amazing when I see a sweater or complicated things that was knit with their own two hands....this looks great! The blue colors are def. you. I love your cat women below too.
ReplyDeleteI've just started knitting again recently too. thing is, the only thing I know how to knit is a scarf! I wish I knew now to make jumpers and cardigans. Yours is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the colors and the pattern and, well, everything! And, like most knitters, I'm with you on the construction part. That's why I always sew pieces together the moment I've finished knitting some parts. To get it over with and immediately get that excitement of seeing it all come together:)
ReplyDeleteI'm currently knitting a houndstooth coat. I reckon I'm about halfway there.
