I still knit, I promise! It’s just the blogging that’s borked. And the bout of glorious weather we’ve had has led to an inordinate amount of sewing. Sundresses, skirts, tops, lots and lots of sewing! In fact, I should take pictures of all my sewing projects and blog those – alas, the weather today is uncooperative. It’s cold and it’s raining – much more conducive to knitwear!
If it keeps up, I may even get to wear my newest project that’s almost done.
The Plum Frost cardi is heading for the finish line! Such a boring, boring knit until you get to the colour work, I won’t lie. Sleeves first, gray stocking stitch. Then the body. More gray stocking stitch. But then you get to join it all up and start the prettiness!
That bit went so much faster than any of the rest of it! So now, only 9 rows of stocking stitch to go, then 12 rows of rib.
And then, The Steek.
Lets think about that later, okay?
My work knitting project is the adorable Lily from Rowan’s Summer Baby in Cotton Glace.
Such a cute, cute cardi for a little girl! An easy lace pattern, made effective by the stripes of colour, but those ends are something I’m not looking forward to!
But here’s a hint of the summer sewing – a dress in Liberty Tana Lawn that I finished today – looks better on me than the hanger, I think!
The dress looks stunning!
Love the dress! My sewing machine is seeing more of me than my knitting needles are, too.
The dress is just gorgeous – so must look amazing on. Same goes for your gorgeous colourwork.
Oh I LOVE that dress. That is so cute. I love the liberty fabric.
Oh beautiful dress! Liberty tana lawn! How special!
That is a very cute cardi, but oh my, those ends! I could not cope!
And the jumper is fab. You could totally have worn that today, wasn’t it awful weather!
The projects are all great! And with a busy life, that’s a lot to accomplish.
My blog has been sadly neglected as well. Hope to change that this week! Loving your projects. I’m eyeing the colourwork with envy!
Love the dress! That sweater is going to be gorgeous.
gorgeous gorgeous dress, cant wait to see that on you! and plum frost. sigh. that just screams donna! glad to hear you got some time to do what you love this weekend.
Love the cardi as grey is one of my fav colors. I am in the same situation – still knitting but not blogging much.
You have been very busy. Such lovely knitting and the dress looks great!
I love the plum frost cardi – gorgeous!
Your sewing is so lovely too.
Amazing how much one gets done when busy isn’t it 🙂
I can’t wait to see the plum frost cardi all finished. And thanks for enabling–I just queued the sweater. The Liberty dress is gorgeous! Is it your own pattern?
Steaks, yikes you are good. I love the yoke on the grey sweater.
