So I finished my Soay<\/a>. I have, of course, been very slack in blogging about it. Here’s two in progress pictures I took.<\/p>\n

Here it is, just past the lace patterning.<\/p>\n

And the sleeve cap. How perfect is that short row sleeve cap? Seriously, I LOVE it.<\/p>\n

But now Soay is blocking, then just buttons and she’s done. So, what next?<\/p>\n

Two years ago. Hang on, maybe three. Holy crap, I just checked Ravelry, and it was four years ago. Four years, jeebus. Anyway, four years ago we went to Bendigo Wool Show and I picked up a kilo of Pear Tree Yarns Shades of Alpaca 8 ply. \u00a0Divine, natural shade with a hint of pink. Scrummy.<\/p>\n

It’s been sitting patiently in the stash, waiting for it’s moment. And I got thinking about Bendigo this year and decided I needed a new cardi to wear. At approximately the same time, I saw Schnee<\/a> pop up on Ravelry. Then,\u00a0earlier this week, Alegrya retweeted something which popped up in\u00a0my timeline. MissRedPen<\/a>\u00a0is hosting an Aussie Cardi KAL!<\/p>\n

More details here at MissRedPen’s blog<\/a>. How perfect is that? If I start on Friday, and can finish it by the end of June, it’ll be ready just in time for the Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show in July. I may have cheated just a little, and swatched already.<\/p>\n

Mmmm! Squishy, squishy alpaca blend in squishy, squishy garter. The cardi is mostly moss stitch. This may kill me \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
