Dreamy boucle cardigan and a dress
How about something completely different? And by different, really I mean the same—I'm sharing a couple of finished projects. That's the bread and butter of what I do 'round here, after all. But it's been awhile since I've shared anything except the knitting patterns I've worked on this year, so I'm here to change that! Ironically part of this outfit started off as something I intended to make into a cardigan pattern ... Read more »
Getting a cardigan right

I took photos of this project at the same time as my flannel ... Read more »

Initially when I knew I was going to post a worsted weight sweater project in early April, I kind of thought I'd have to make a joke about how it was growing too warm to wear it. Hahahahaha. As if.

This is actually the second time I've knit that cardigan pattern. The pattern is called Ten of Hearts, and is a vintage pattern from the 1950s that you can buy from Bex's Etsy shop. (My ...

Not forgotten: Cath Kidston inspired cardigan
A year and a half ago, I started and completed a cardigan. I never took photos, which is really unlike me with sweaters. It wasn't because I wasn't pleased with it, or didn't wear it, as I was and did (and do). I just never got around to it—until today! This is a total copycat cardigan. Case in point: Guess which one is mine... yeah okay, perhaps the Cath Kidston label and machine-knit stitch size gives it ... Read more »
