Well, what a busy week!
Lots more work has been done on my Twenty-ten Cardi and very little (read that as none) on Erik and the Guernsey Wrap. The cardi is now measuring 10 inches from the bottom hem and I'm really enjoying it. With the asymmetric hemline its just enough of a challenge to keep me interested without being too mentally taxing.
If you saw my FO Friday post you'll have seen that I have been well and truly mentally taxed by the Monteagle bag this week! Its beautiful and I love it now that its done, but I'm not sure that I'll be rushing to make another, then again, that all depends on whether I can find another pattern that I like as much....
I've also been working on my Fetching gloves, finishing them this morning before rushing off to a 3 year old's birthday party with the boys.......
They're lovely and snuggly and am hoping that the person they're for will like them. It was a lovely, easy and quick knit, I think I'll make myself some for the winter but possible making them a touch longer but I'm not adding to my list just yet!
And finally last night I cast on my Jane hat, I think some mind numbing ribbing will be in order if number 2 son continues his sleep strike! Its in a lovely Teal shade of Rico Essentials Soft Merino Aran but have no photos to show you just yet.
So two more FO's this week, albeit small ones, Mr T is away again this week so will probably get plenty more done before my next update!!
I love the cardigan. I wish I could look decent in hats 'cause Jane is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of your cardigan and can't wait to see more. I like your gloves and have some of these in mind for winter for myself too, seeing yours just makes me want to get at them lol.
ReplyDeleteYou're making good headway, the sweater is really coming along. Tried to follow your blog, but the google connect thing isn't working. I really wish they'd go back to the blogger friends thing, I much preferred it.
ReplyDeleteHand warmers are awesome. I can't wait for your cardi to be finished!
ReplyDeletewow - you've been busy busy busy but make GREAT progress!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree the gloves are fantastic. How do you find the time to fit all this crafting in ? Do you sleep ? Oh I know you must sleep craft right?
ReplyDeleteAnyways well done on all your progress.x
I've not tried that Rico one yet but am a big fan of their range so will have to find a supplier. Nothing beats a fetching for that sense of achievement. I usually add another 2 twists to the wrist and one more at the top. My favourite pair were made in malabrigo twisted xx
ReplyDeleteYour work is lovely. You certainly have been busy this week.
ReplyDeleteIsn't Fetching a lovely little pattern. Linked to the wrap, it looks great. Can't wait to see yours when it's finished.
ReplyDeleteThat Jan hat pattern is very pretty. I guess this is the time of year that I should start thinking about hats and mitts for gift giving. It's just too hot to knit them now!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a great eye for patterns! looking forwards to seeing the hat as I like Rico yarns too... Beautiful gloves and hat. Good luck with that snuggly lovely cardigan.
ReplyDeleteYour projects look super, love the wristwarmers, it looks like a great pattern
ReplyDeleteWell done on more FOs! (I'm finishing things - but they are not on my YoP list -d'oh!!!!!! )
ReplyDeletethe yarn you used for the bag is really fantastic. I love bright colors. the wristwarmers are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat cardigan is going to be super cute! and the fetchinggloves look sooo nice!
