I can&#8217;t tell you the last time I actually needed to run the dryer.<br \/>\nI have made a decision regarding the baby cardi.<br \/>\nI prefer the style of the yellow buttons, but the colour of the white. That makes it kinda difficult, doesn&#8217;t it? However, seeing as it&#8217;s not my baby that will be wearing the buttons, I&#8217;m going to put the white buttons on the cardi, (going with the majority here), but I&#8217;m also going to give the baby&#8217;s mum the yellow buttons, so that she can decide which ones to use.<br \/>\nI had hoped to have the cardi finished, blocked and buttoned today, but the weather isn&#8217;t cooperating.<br \/>\nSo lets look at a new baby cardi!<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_2467.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_2467.html','popup','width=950,height=713,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_2467-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nThis time, I&#8217;m going with a plain raglan cardi. The yarn is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.touchyarns.com\/\">&#8220;Touch&#8221; 4 ply from New Zealand<\/a>. I&#8217;d originally bought this yarn with the intention of knitting socks with it, but it wouln&#8217;t behave. I think it&#8217;s coming along nicely for a baby cardi.<br \/>\nThis one is for a family friend&#8217;s baby girl.  I swear that there is something in the water. There are a great many babies waiting to join us!<br \/>\nThe Lupine Lace socks are growing slowly.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/lupine%20lace.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/lupine%20lace.html','popup','width=950,height=713,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/lupine%20lace-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nSocks are usually my fill in knitting, but these have been a little neglected of late, due to baby cardi&#8217;s and scarves, but I love the way the pattern is working with The Knittery&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/theknittery.com.au\/c\/25291\/1\/4ply-sock-merino-cashmere.html\">Merino Cashmere<\/a> sock yarn. The colourway is &#8220;Water Lilies&#8221; I was worried about the variegation, but it just looks mottled.
