Spent a while trying to decide how to do the border for this cardigan and Mr Soaring Sheep agreed a solid colour border would be the way to go. I decided to use this undyed yarn partly because of the way it sets the colours off nicely but also because I knew I had enough of it in the stash that I wouldn't be in any danger of running out mid project!
The cardigan should finish nicely at around bum height so she'll be snug and cosy in it. I'm making the 6 years size despite my daughter being nearly 9. She's rather diddy lol. The project page is here.
I've got the in-laws visiting this afternoon, we're going to show them our new allotment. We've not done any work on it yet, I need to get round to ordering a few "how to" books! Have a good day everyone, thanks for visiting :-)

Oops, that is not nice, having knitting elbows :(
ReplyDeleteThe cardigan looks very pretty, so I think you like to work on it and it won't be easy to give your arms some rest for a few days.
Anyway, best wishes to you and your family!
Yeah I'm rather missing not being able to knit. I've learnt from experience though that it's better to rest it for a few days otherwise it takes even longer to get better and hurts more too :(
DeleteI love the crazy colours. I bet she does too.
ReplyDeleteShe does, and she's very impatient for it to be finished lol
Deletevery pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteIt looks AMAZING!! I love how you got all those colors to work together.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute cardigan on this petite miss. My oldest is the same way! She turned 10 and can fit into 6 as her age sized clothing is way too big.
ReplyDeleteThe time change can be very disconcerting can't it, I hope that you are feeling yourself again now. xx
ReplyDeleteOuch! I don't get knitting elbows but I'm certain that I hear my shoulder squeak sometimes when I'm knitting LOL. I'm not ready to get old! I suppose knitting injuries are a badge of honour, right? :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colours of this cardigan and I think you made the right choice about the border - it looks lovely.
Knitters elbow? I live in fear of something like that!
ReplyDeleteThe cardigan is so gorgeous. I love all those colors.
What is an allotment?
An allotment is a patch of ground you can rent off the parish council and grow fruit and vegetables on :)
DeleteI love the cardigan!! What a cheerful cozy little sweater. :) I hope your elbow feels better soon, knitting injuries are the worst.
