What an exciting yarny week! I finished my Shalom Cardigan. I love love LOVE it! It fits beautifully - the first cardi I have knitted for myself that fits so well - it was a dream to knit up.
It came together so quickly and I loved the Drops yarn I used. It is so soft and warm - far to warm for these early summer days but will be perfect for those cool Autumn days to come.
These pictures are taken pre-blocking, and it doesn't look bad. I am looking forward to seeing it blocked :o)
Please do excuse all the headless pictures - but this was a make-up free day so I prefer to be headless LOL
The buttons - I just love the buttons! They make me happy :o)
I love how this cardi is all knitted as one piece. No seems, so sewing together, just pure knitting!
I have enjoyed knitting this cardi so much and it fits so well that I plan on casting on another one later on this week, this time the colour is 'Heather'. A deep rich purple. You can see it here. This time I think I will add one more buttonhole and an extra button :o)
Reading...
I am still busy with my Agatha Raisin mystery. For some reason I am not enjoying it as much as I have some of the others. Agatha Raisin seems particularly needy in this book and I find it quite irritating. I keep wishing that she would pull herself together!
