I’m so far behind on my finished projects that I’m giving up and posting them all here right now. I save them sometimes for blog fodder, but then I don’t blog, and the cycle gets bigger and bigger. Time to end it! (The cycle, that is)
\nFirst up, Edie.

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nOh my, I love this knit!
\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Edie<\/a> by Kim Hargreaves from Precious<\/a>
\nYarn: Rowan Kid Classic<\/a> in Smoke, 8 balls from Calico & Ivy<\/a>
\nNeedles: 3.5 and 4mm Addi Turbos
\nMods: None. Kim Hargreaves and Kid Classic, what’s not to love? Love the styling, love the smooshiness, love the comfort. I have worn this many times since I finished it a month ago. It’s warm, it’s attractive, love it. And it was quick! I took this as my car knitting when we went to Victoria in July. We were gone a week, and when I got home I had done the back and the front and was halfway up the sleeves. Quick!

\nPics thanks to Knitabulous<\/a>
\nNext up, a dreadful picture of a gift knit.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nI finished it late at night, and it was given away the next day, so the only pic I have is this awful dark one.
\nBaby knit for a friend of David’s.
\nSpecs:
\nPattern: From an old Patons book that seems to be now discontinued.
\nYarn: Bendigo 4ply, picked up at the mill whilst we were in Victoria.
\nNeedles: 2.25 & 2.75mm
\nMods: I changed the sleeves – the pattern had short sleeves and I wanted long, otherwise pretty much as written.
\nAnd finally, a cute one.
\n

\nSarah (the lovely Calico & Ivy Balmain manager) found this free pattern on the Rowan website, and asked me to knit one as a store sample. So cute!
\nIt knitted up nice and quick, just a little cuddle toy for a baby.
\nThe day I finished it, I went to the Rowan site to look up the pattern, and it’s gone.
\nSo we now have a store sample and no pattern to offer people.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Mouse Comfort by Janice Anderson from the Rowan website
\nYarn: Rowan Pure Wool DK in Cypress, Tudor Rose and Flour
\nNeedles: 2.75mm and 3.25mm
\nMods: None. The pattern also has a Flying Fox option, equally cute, but sadly also equally removed from the Rowan website.
\nAnd so now we are up to date. Lets see if I can keep it that way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
