I am happily wearing my new cardy today, thanks to size 9mm needles it was a super quick project. It is not perfect but, considering the yarn was only $20 total, it is okay. In the pattern (Jo Sharp Yoke Cardigan) it is worn with a shawl pin, which I don't have, so I am wearing it with my liberty brooch that I bought from Fiona Marie. I attempted blocking it a little to stop it curling up at the edges. Then I put it out in the sun to dry so of course both cats investigated and Holly spent the afternoon sleeping on it, I'm not sure if that helped with the blocking! Holly loves to be near us but prefers that we don't pick her up or put her on our knee which is why she looks reluctant in my cuddle. My husband thinks I look like Wilson from Home Improvement. And I had to include this photo of Josh and the chickens, too cute! And, lastly, I have signed up for FNSI at Handmade by Heidi, I already have my project organised. Now I better get on with tidying as we have people coming over tonight, Wendy xx

Wendy perhaps the cats think you are taking their good cosy blanket from them LOL... beautiful cardy, such a versatile colour... We are expecting a very nasty weather front tonight, so I will be happily cross stitching on the sofa, protected on my slippers!
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy,
ReplyDeleteYour cardy is amazing, you really did a wonderful job. Your son looks so sweet with the chicken.
Have a blessed day
Hugs
Love your cardi. Looks like it could be a fight as to who gets it in the winter... you or the cats. My money is on the cat!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of both you and Josh and the chook is a bit of a looker too ;o)
thats cats for you lol. when i block knitting for the first time, or after washing, i just use a clean damp tea towel and the iron on the wool setting and press it while it is dry. its a lovely pattern and love those chooks too
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see a photo of you and I love the knitted cardigan with the brooch it looks lovely on you, I do love a quick project too:) Love your chooks too, they are great pets to have. Wishing you a lovely week.
