The other night I stayed up a little late and put in the final stitches to this little cardi. It was one of those projects that had evolved over time. Originally this beautiful soft alpaca yarn was to be a dress. But that wasn't to be. So it was reincarnated into this simple little top (the 4 seasons jacket pattern) that didn't require a lot of concentration. Which was just what was needed right now.
It is a little roomy in the neck, something which time will no doubt fix. The buttons were an op shop buy while we were travelling in Victoria.
Our little (serious) model seems quite happy in it. I do love this age where they will wear anything that is put on them.

Have you been knitting lately? Do you like to breeze through your knitting or do you prefer a challenge?
I love it! And yes, I've been knitting lately. Always, always knitting... x
ReplyDeletei love reading your blog. this is another great knitting project. i've just finished the "like sleeves" pattern for my little ivy. thanks for the inspiration!!! bianca :)
ReplyDeleteSimple and sweet. I love staying up late in a quiet house to cast off a project. I'm knitting away at another kerchief, this one for my sister. Then I have plans of challenging myself with knitting my first adult cardigan, for myself, and a pair of socks!
ReplyDeleteI am very much into knitting easy projects. Most of my knitting happens while the kids are running around, so it can't require much concentration. At night, the most I can manage lately is reading!

ReplyDeleteThat colour is so very sweet on her!
ReplyDeleteTania your little girl looks so very sweet in that cardigan you made for her and so deep in thought, so cute to watch:) What a lucky girl to have such a clever Mum like you making beautiful clothes for her to wear. xx
ReplyDeleteI have not knitted a thing lately but you are an inspiration to pull out some yarn and needles. That little jacket is adorable.
ReplyDeleteTania that is one gorgeous knit :)
ReplyDeleteI have completed more knitting projects in the last month or so than I have in over two years now. I had forgotten just how much I enjoyed it and I think it definitely helps when you have a little one to knit for.
